For me, it's not so much about putting my tired on hold, but my fear. Since my husband's death two years ago, I am discovering many new things about myself. I've had to take charge and start a new life. Putting my fear on hold could allow this journey to be more interesting in the future.

I have to agree with you there, Karen. We definitely hardly know ourselves, and the way we continue to discover those hidden parts is by saying yes to new things, by getting uncomfortable in the little ones, and by challenging ourselves to find that next level that is our best self.
I can so relate to being in a place/doing things personally and professionally that the me ten years ago could have never envisioned. And I really love the idea of looking ahead and wondering what me ten years from now will be up to. Trajectory-wise thanks to personal growth, it's looking really good.
Loved the newsletter this week, Karen! I'm looking forward to the next.
I'm 46 and I just started running last year! Ten years ago I weighed 100 pounds more and drank way too much. If you had told me then that today I'd have a few years of sobriety under my belt and be hooked on obstacle course racing, I'd have laughed so hard!
I also just finished The 12 week year, that was your recommendation, wasn't it? Fantastic and now I'm ready to tackle the next hard thing! Thanks for sharing!
Hmmm, well I don't run but I sure do get tired. Maybe I should take a walk instead of a nap!!
Thanks again for your ideas!!!!!
