Several years ago I was gifted a copy of the book 5: Where will you be five years from today?

A page in that book changed my life. Well, two pages actually. Across two pages, in big letters, is the question:

I didn’t know.

I couldn’t remember the last time I had done something for the first time. Not for several years, anyway.

Then I realized that… I had stopped living. I had already died, and didn’t even realize it.

So I committed, right then and there, to do something for the first time every year until I die.

Here is what I’ve done for the first time since then…
