Turning fifty was wonderful for me! My husband, sons, and granddaughter and I were all on a Camping trip and one of my sons bought me my favourite shooter and mixed them for me! I know I must sound like a lush, but maybe I'm in denial, but I'm not!
(Coming from an alcoholism background I was in my twenties before I knew there was such a thing as a social drinker, and that's what I believe I am)
Anyway, I love where I am in life right now and it took a "lot" of work to get here, believe me! I'm at peace with my life, have no self esteem issues, don't have the desire to be a people pleaser, am having a lot of laughs and a good time!
As I've said before, as long as I look after my health and have my sense of humour, I look forward to aging gracefully! I have a lot of fun plans for Retirement, and pray to God that I remember the important things and let the other stuff go!
I choose to look at the positive aspects of life, such as making the moments count for something! I've learned how to enjoy moments because, after all, they are so precious and shouldn't be wasted, they pass so quickly!
