From time to time, I find myself thinking of making a dramatic life change. And, no, it's not a midlife thing (frankly, I've always thought it presumptive to think that 40 is "midlife" - no one knows what will happen tomorrow).
No, it is more because, as I live day to day, I find that my life goals change. When I was 20 (young, dumb and newly married), I wanted 6 kids and I wanted them as soon as possible. True, at this point in life, they'd all be almost grown, but I think my lifespan might well have been decreased by decades too. From 25 to 30, I still thought I wanted the big house and the white picket fence...now, I feel like simplifying.
But, a couple of years ago, my best friend gave me a little plaque that says, "this life is not a dress rehearsal" and, it is a great reminder every day. With my friend making a move of her own (inadvertently changing my life too), I'm ready to chase a dream. Fasten your seat belts.
