because I'm in my 50's

I started this blog because I feel that being in my 50's is a real turning point in life. It's a good place for the most part. I usually don't do too many things that I don't want to anymore. I speak my mind more frequently, although some people don't like that! One thing that is a little scary, is that there were so many things that I wanted to do in my life and it's not really looking that hopeful for a lot of them! Perhaps I set my goals too high! Anybody out there feeling the same way at all? I see that 10 years have gone by in my marriage. It's a lot different from where we started. Not sure what to make of it. I love being friends with my children! Glad that I had them young! I like the empty nest now! I'm not sure that I like the way I look. I can't decide on short or long hair. I know I have to age and I accept that, except I'm not ready to have grey hair! I rarely shave my legs. I'm much more political than I was, but I think while I was raising kids, I was just way too busy to pay attention to much else, as I had to support us too. Life is good, my life has been good at every stage, not sure why aging has such a bad rap!

  1. It's likely I won't accomplish all the things I've set out to do in this life either -- like that thing with Richard Gere! -- but I'm working on trying to really live in the moment. No regrets, no undue worry about the future. Don't say yes when I really mean no! Right now I'm only successful a few hours out of each day (that's on a good day!) That's one of the benefits of age - more time to work on enjoying the moment! Now for a cup of tea and my watercolors!
