So, what’s next?
As we grow older, it seems like a lot of people spend a lot of time looking back. Thinking about the past and reminiscing about old times. Talking about what they “used to do” replaces discussions about what they are “going to do.”
Since I began this blog over a year ago, my thoughts have been focused on looking ahead, not back. I believe the decade of my 60’s will be the best one yet. I have things that I want to do. Places that I want to go. People that I want to see.
As with everything in life, things are always a juggle with time and resources available. We are becoming very intentional about the next ten years of our lives. There is much to determine. Time is precious and the clock is ticking.
At some point, I will retire. I need to make sure I don’t retire too soon or too late. However, I am fearful of not having enough to do to occupy my time and stimulate my brain. So maybe it is a semi-retired phase? On the other hand, I am in a creative business and at some point, I may not be relevant anymore. I would hate for others to determine that before I do.
One of the things that I have been struggling with is what to do with this blog? I have written a blog every Friday since January 24, 2023. I will continue to release one every Friday until I turn 60 on May 2nd. An article every week is a big commitment and not one I can continue indefinitely. But, I have loved the process and the feedback has been so appreciated and overwhelming. I want to continue writing in some form. It is good for me and hopefully has been good for you the reader.
So, I would love your input.
I have considered publishing a blog whenever a certain topic seemed relevant.
I have considered publishing a monthly article that is a longer format than what I have been doing.
I have considered a bi-weekly blog in a similar format at this.
Or maybe I should just call it quits at 60.
