So, hi.
Yesterday, I turned 50.
Here I am. For better or for worse.
Fifty seems to me an age that I never thought I'd reach, and two years ago, it seemed virtually impossible. And yet -
Here I am
A little bit battered, a little bit bruised, a lot different than I was two years ago, much different in terms of my feelings with regards to relationships and friendships. I've learned a tremendous amount
maybe more than I really wanted to learn about some situations and some people
but in the end, it's worked out exactly the way it's supposed to work out. I've become the person I am, for better or for worse. I'm still growing and evolving.
I was told recently that I've made many choices recently that go against who I have been in the past, and that's fine. I don't necessarily like who I was
in some aspects
but I did the best I could with what I had and what I knew
and when you know better you do better.
And all we can do in this life is keep moving forward. When you feel like you can't keep moving forward, you tread until you can move forward. I'm no longer treading and I'm moving forward.
Happy Birthday to me.
Welcome to the +50 club! I'm glad you made it and that you keep writing!
