Pre-Birthday Taking Stock

| Water on Weeds Mandala
On the 16th I'll be 57. Yep, 57. Some days it 'seems like yesterday'. Other days...well, it seems like forever. I'm not sure how one is suppose to feel at 57. I do know I giggle to myself at times when I refer to some of the patrons at the library as "the little old man" or "the elderly woman" and realize, technically, I could be in that group.
Problem is, I still don't know what I want to do with my life. I still feel like I have a lot of growing up to do. At the same time, I don't want to stop growing as an individual. I don't want to stop doing and exploring and learning. In fact, I feel more inclined to do that more now than in the past.
So, I'm taking a moment (as my homework is caught up) to take stock again and update what is going on in my life. This is the list I made at the end of June and the purple is where I am today...

Making: hat for co-worker in chemo therapy. Dr. Who still a WIP
