I was thinking as I shaved today about an earlier statement that I made on this blog. Specifically, I mentioned that I see myself as a 16-year old boy. Looking at myself in the mirror as I shaved brought that back to mind because I remember what it was like to start shaving around 16 and how foreign it always seemed. It was the kind of thing that was expected, but wasn't really necessary. I'm 40 years old right now, and I don't need to shave every day - imagine what my facial hair looked like when I was 16. The Mudder-A-Month project isn't about trying to be 16 years old again, it's about trying to stay youthful. The key thing about this project is that it's helping me to feel younger. I know that the 16 year old me is lost, but that doesn't mean that I can't keep a bit of that feeling alive.
