I always feel the same way the day after that I felt on the day before. No reason to think it will be any different next Feb when I pass that milestone. I always think it should make me feel different, but it doesn't really. It's only when you compare 49's pains to 21's eagerness that you feel the time has passed. Celebrate who you were then. Celebrate who you are now. And, would you really go back and do it again???

I realized, though, that allowing myself to do that was ridiculous and a colossal waste of time! So...while it's difficult, I'm really trying to block that out and just live my life! Don't waste your 5's on regrets, etc. Your 6's will come soon enough!!

Maybe I can join NEXT Friday.<br /><br />I reached OLD about 3 years ago, when I turned 70. I always thought someone seventy years old was SOOOOO OLD. Well, here I'm about to be 74 in December...my gosh o'mighty...where did those yrs go??? When, I,too, had a body that could stay working all day long...*sighbjhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04432398383127199206noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7924158834708722465.post-15550679306907470002011-08-26T12:14:04.800-05:002011-08-26T12:14:04.800-05:00I got the '50' t-shirt almost 2 years ago....I got the '50' t-shirt almost 2 years ago. It just got me to thinking about all the stuff I want to do this next half of my life, and I've started working towards those things. I want to have a vacation home. I want to open up a shop or have a booth at an Antique Mall (still checking on the details of that). To write a blog and have friends from all over the world (working on that). <br /><br />Thing is people have gone ahead of me and blazed these trails and I see it's possible and I want to not be afraid and to try new things. Suzanne, I was at Juli's bridal shower and since then you have been part of my inspiration 'team.' I guessed you were younger than me but that didn't make me say "I'm too old to try this." I figure I'm here until God says otherwise, I want to do as much as I can with this life I've been given. cJoy<br /><br />P.S. Heads up to AMY and the 'c' that she needs to have done, not as bad as it sounds - I didn't care for the 'fasting' part but they knocked me out and that was some great sleep. Relax. Scare them - ask for 8 x 10 glossies/pic.cJoyhttp://joyandcomfort.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7924158834708722465.post-64871575968922789052011-08-26T11:07:02.473-05:002011-08-26T11:07:02.473-05:00love that about not dreading the future but living...love that about not dreading the future but living in the moment. Also how come you didn't slap your friend in the face with that "7 months left " comment. RUDE. at least splash your lemonade in her face and say "I've always wanted to throw a drink at someone before I turned 50- thanks for making that happen for me!" lol. just kidding. but seriously. <br /><br />great blog.Kellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06302815700164308749noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7924158834708722465.post-35578726242569650662011-08-26T10:12:04.889-05:002011-08-26T10:12:04.889-05:00Your post is coming at a good time.

Can I take my 5 minutes here? =)<br /><br />I am dealing with being angry over a procedure that comes with turning 50 (which happened for me last December). I am fighting tooth and nail to avoid having the starts with "C" and ends with "oscopy" done. My hubby, who is johnny-on-the-spot when it comes to doctor visits and check ups, scheduled his yesterday. I was HOPPING mad. Slamming doors mad. Yes, stomping around the house and yelling mad. F.U.R.I.O.U.S...Why? Because I am scared. I promised my nurse friend, who is going to come with me and hold my hand the entire time, I would schedule it today....I haven't yet...I just cry...<br /><br />Sorry for being a "Debbie Downer" on your lovely blog....Amy, a redeemed sheephttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12324661637036868565noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7924158834708722465.post-47717117904572438712011-08-26T09:47:38.316-05:002011-08-26T09:47:38.316-05:00I shamefully did not want to click on this post be...I shamefully did not want to click on this post because I have been so sad over my age. You spoke to my heart. I too have wasted so much time being depressed and living in a dark hole, that I have missed the living part. Age should not do that to us, we do that to ourselves. <br /><br />I am going to do something about it and start living again. You always touch me in some way with what you have to say.

It was the year before, the nines, 39.49,59,...because that meant she was in the last year of that decade. For some reason, age has never been important to me. Maybe because it was a number and I'm NOT good at numbers. Of course, I know I'm getting older, mostly because my body doesn't cooperate with my 'young' mind. Where did that agile, full of energy body go anyway? Loved your post.
