I found my first gray hair this week. Mid-vacation….
Of course, it wasn’t just one. It was three.
Does that mean I’m officially over the hill? Or is it just one gray hair per kid at this point? Either way, I guess it’s time to face the music: I’m not defying aging. Not even close.
It got me thinking—maybe it’s a good time to check in on my bucket list. You know, make sure I’m still chasing the things that light me up.
- Go to college – ✔️✔️ Liked it so much, I did it twice.
- Fall in love – ✔️
- Have kids – ✔️
- Run a marathon – ✔️
- Complete an Ironman – still on the list because its not too late in my book.
- Witness an active volcano
- See the Northern Lights
- Write something that’s seen by hundreds – book, blog, article? Not picky here.
- Learn to surf
- Take a multi-day backpacking trip with the family
- Sleep under the stars with my kids
Aging might be creeping in (or sprinting, depending on the day), but the dreams don’t stop. If anything, they shift—deeper, more meaningful, sometimes scarier, but always worth chasing.
