Day 10 of a month of me is about happyness, just what makes me happy? It's the simple things, my grandchilden for one, that's the oldest above leaving me a heart on the sidewalk. Gardening keeps me happy, even in the winter as I plan for spring. Writing is a happy part of my life, it keeps me connected with the past through journals, and my articles keeps that dream alive. Blogging really makes me happy, the support group here, esp. from yesterdays post, was so uplifting and thanks to you all, I'm gonna take menopause on with a positive additude!Of course my family and friends make me happy and my home is true happyness but it's the small and simple things in life that just keeps your heart happy. Today on my way home, a mama quail and her cute little babies crossed in front of me, I stopped and just smiled, they were so little and adorable! That's what it's really all about. Sunsets, mountains, flowers, babies and the life around us that doesn't get the credit it deserves.
I'm happy to make it to my 50th birthday, and because of you and all your encouraging words, I'm accepting it from here on out! I've learned a few things from you fine folks who have made it to the other side of 50, there is still alot of life waiting for me to enjoy! Thank you all so much, I couldn't of done it without you! Were only at day 10 so stay tuned, there's still more to come and I wouldn't want you to miss a thing!
Happy Birthday!!! Fifty ain't so bad. I could say it's just a number - but to all of us who have made it and beyond it is a big deal. I have to have a cloth beside the bed to wipe away the wetness on my head neck and chest.
ReplyDeleteTo tell you the truth - I am the best I've ever been right now. I am finally with who I am and I am divorced. I can finally be comfortable just to be me and it's OK because you just don't care what people think so much anymore.
Well I could run on and on but I won't. It'll be OK. You have a lot of life left to be lived - Kick your heels up.
Hi Sue,
ReplyDeleteI feel the same way as Becca, by the time we hit our 50's we have usually been thur alot so I welcomed it with arms wide open... I turned 58 in April and didn't get depressed at all, I'm with who I want to be with not because I have to be with someone because I had to think of the kids when they were little, my kids are grown and now I can spoil the g.daughters and have fun:)

Honestly as a women, I think life begins at 50. I was so busy being wife, mother and grandmother and sort of forgot about me. 50 hit and now Im focusing on me from now on. I realized my well was drying up and thats my fault. You cannot keep giving and not putting something inside for yourself.
ReplyDeleteAnd so I realized the marriage was over, I moved on. I found me a wonderful soulmate now and he and I are going to be moving to Oregon to start over. Maybe find a small farm and have a peaceful life. Ill start my business (herbs/antiques) and he will find work up there and I plan on having my happily ever after. Life doesnt end just because this number 50 showed up :)
