40 BLOGS TO 40

Tomorrow I will begin what is a HUGE undertaking for me. I'm going to post one blog each of the 40 days leading up to my 40th birthday on topics given to me by friends, with a few of my own topics thrown in. The topics include a few humorous anecdotes and a few serious and introspective contemplations on life past, present and future. 


For those of you unfamiliar with my blog, I "generally" change the names of the individuals I write about (in rare cases, I will use the real names of the individuals, and usually with their permission) and I write the blog under my pseudonym,  r. keller thomas (all lower case). I have a format to each post...I discourse on my particular topic and then I make a confession based on the topic at hand.


Here's my confession: Unlike many of my contemporaries who are (or have already) trudged towards their 40th birthday with a sense dread, preferring that the day just pass by unnoticed, I am actually very excited about the beginning of new decade of life. I have, to this point, had a good life. I have great people in my life, near and far.  One of my favorite quotes communicates this quite nicely:  “Life is either a daring adventure, or nothing at all.” –Helen Keller. My life has been good, and I can only believe that there is more ahead.

I hope that you will follow the blog, that you will learn something new about me, will come to think of things in a different light, or that the blog will have some other positive effect on you. I love comments, and I hope to see your feedback! Thanks in advance for setting sail with me on this daring adventure.
