An unusual activity for me, but I did a little math this morning.
In one year, time passes accordingly:
- 31,536,000 seconds
- 525,600 minutes
- 8.760 hours
- 365 days
- 52 weeks
- 12 months
- 4 seasons
From one season, month, day, hour, or minute to the next, there are so many opportunities to learn. To explore. Experiment. Create. Build. Design. Discover.
Imagine all there is to see, do, conceive, or dream up in the time it takes the earth to travel its 92.96 million mile orbit around the sun.
Think about all I can learn from new moon to full moon. From Fall to Winter and Winter to Spring. What new challenges can I meet from sun up to down? Who will I become from this one hopeful year of my life to the next?
Let’s find out!
Having just turned 60, I’m aiming for 60 new experiences. Recipes. Destinations. Classes. Books. New friendships, new challenges, and goals. New knowledge. Questions answered. Dreams fulfilled.
Maybe 60 is my once upon a time. My someday when. One thing’s sure and certain, it’s my next hopeful year.
As of today, it’s been 604,800 seconds, 10,080 minutes, 168 hours, and 7 days since my birthday, so it’s time to get started. I’ll share along the way … and feel free to offer suggestions and ideas for me to try.
New experience number one: Lemon Blueberry Scones.
one hopeful year 
I know this is what I need right now, though I don’t have the reserve to dive in. It will come. However, I just finished a delightful summer read called Mary Jane, a Novel. It was one of the free reads on Amazon Prime. Of course, check it out on Good Reads first. Your joy is a welcome spot in my day!

I feel the need to keep going and growing – this seemed like a manageable idea. It’s already got my mind buzzing with possibilities! The clock is ticking on … and I thank you for the thought of being more purposeful as it does.
