I've been thinking a lot about 50 . . . when I was a child I couldn't have imagined being 50; when I was a teenager, it never occurred to me that 50 wasn't that far away; when I turned 25 I thought I was old and would never be married . . . 25 seems like a long time ago. As a matter of fact, just recently I heard myself saying that I was a 25 year old trapped in an almost 50 year old body. WOW!
Can we talk about this "body" thing? What happened to my arms and my chest? I know gravity is always pulling and tugging down, down, down, but come on. I guess the one good thing about being overweight is their is more to "plump" the sagging skin and muscles. I'm not overweight and don't want to be, but my goodness, I need a total body lift!
Okay, I know what you may be thinking, she stops BLOGGING and comes back sounding like an obsessed narcissist. Not so, but I am noticing new and not so great developments almost daily so it is on my mind. But you are probably right . . . enough about ME!
Life at almost 50 does have some perks. I do feel as though I have earned a place of wisdom and should nJoy the respect that follows. I have lived through hardships and happiness and truly do look forward to what's coming next, whatever that may be. Still buying lottery tickets, sure I'm going to win (cause someone wins so it might as well be me), still looking forward to watching my children have children (no any time soon), and still loving being creative whether it is through photography, art, writing, making bracelets or cooking. I guess all in all, life is good and I say a prayer of gratitude each morning for the new day ahead and the one I just experienced. I am fortunate in so many ways, 57 days before 50!
