My mid-life crisis

Before I turned 40 I decided I'm done waiting for the perfect time, if I want to do something I'll just do it. So I decided to take up surfing. I tell you, the 40 year old body just isn't quite as reactive as a 20 year old body. That's for sure, but I'm having lots of fun and surprising myself. Today the surf was brutal and I choked myself with the leash when a wave toppled me. Scary, but I kept going. Lots and lots of sting rays, but I still continued. I lasted almost 2 hours and it was only my second time. I'm so proud of myself for not listening to all those people who asked why I wanted to surf. Because I can, duh! Those are the boring people anyway because my friends are adventurous like me so don't let people talk you out of anything you want to do! Just do it!
