A beginning

An online diary, Who would have thought?
Did someone think that life begins at 40? Hmmm, I believe is starts when you desire it. Not the ordinary life: Birth, live, eat, sleep, work, pay bills,raise a family, then die. Well, I guess thats a life of sorts. If you're happy then all is good. But what if, what if you wake up each day and need something more? Something that touches your soul and fills that void that's been lurking all these years? Is it God? Is it service to humanity? A need to take learning as far as you can go? What drives the human psyche? How many of us really get to live the life we envisioned for ourselves? How many of us have settled for something less?

This Blog is titled, "a beginning". Well thats not quite accurate. I began weeks ago. Maybe years ago. But have never given myself completely over to a Life worth living. And you must begin somewhere. So I decided that an exciting, eventful life starts with a strong healthy body and mind. I'm lucky, I have a great constitution, a body that has taken years of abuse, has not given up on me. It usually does what I want it to do and doesn't complain too much. But now I want to do more. I want to be a triathlete. And I want to follow where that leads me. Wether it be to God, service, learning or beyond. But with all things in my life, it begins with me.
So lets start shall we?
