Half a century. Can’t wait to live the next 50 years.

See where God steers.

50 isn’t old to someone who’s 95.

50 is ancient to someone who’s 25.

50 isn’t old to the person turning,

with much life still yearning.

  1. Fascinating, and I love the Up-beat of this. (Except menopause: but, fwiw fyi, for me was just another side-phase, and of course it varies person to person but for me the worst was night sweats, intermittent, which made for more laundry and a not-hot shower every morning – actually a refreshing way to start the day.
    I didn’t take any meds or hormones, I thought maybe if/when symptoms got worse I might, but they never did. They just left. My body looks the same, or if anything I lost a bit of weight. Again, just fwiw, and of course anybody’s mileage may vary.)
    (Dolly Parton’s Jolene, and Mandy Patinkin as Inigo Montoya, are now stuck in my head … ! Eh thanks; I love them both : )
    Happy New Year!

      1. Yes, I likewise was braced for worse. I still get night sweats now and then, being not much past it, but infrequently and not big a deal. I did also get hot flashes at times, but as I’d always been bothered by overheated houses, offices, and such, anyway – because I prefer cool – it didn’t feel much outside the norm for me; dress light, drink cool h2o, snd carry on. Fingers crossed that you get a mild version, too!
