It is officially one week now since I turned the big 50! January 13, was my big day!
How does it feel? That is the question that others keep asking.
I even asked myself, “what am I suppose to feel like?”
The first few days I kept hearing echos from others saying, “welcome to the club!”
At first I was l thinking…there is a 50 club, why did I not know. (Sarcasm)
But on a more serious note, I am a week 50 years old.
Today I was sharing with my husband how it felt so different, unable to find the correct words to describe how I was feeling.
I am not one of those people who look at my age as getting older so I was super stoked about turning 50.
Being able to look in my rear view and see how far I had travel was cheerful.
Not only had I been able to live and see 50, I was healthy, happy, and had peace..no one should take peace for granted.
Seven days into 50 I have to keep reminding myself that I am in a new decade and must take each day more serious than before.
Within the framework of my mind, I absolutely see myself still young and full of life.
I certainly do not want to waste time pondering over things I could have done better, or opportunities I missed when I have time on my side.
This moment is really all I am guaranteed, so I must experience it with intense determination!
Not willing to sacrifice my day in wasteful thinking, I keep saying out loud… “Girl you are 50 do things better!!”
Of course I am not silly to think I will not have challenges, hardship and plain old distraction come up in this decade.
I am simply taking the route of modification to my old self in order to overcome the old thinking that tripped me up and kept me obsessing over things I had no power to change.
As I write this blog, I do it with great expectation and joy.
Being 50 is not a number but an entrance into a new path on my journey of life.
My focus is not on my loss in this decade, but all that will be added to my life.
Now that I am a week being 50 years old, I see that life is really what you make it.
Hope you will join me on my journey as I share on the first year being 50:)
