Another 50-Something Birthday

Posted on 08. Jun, 2009 by Karen in Midlife Moments

birthday-cake I’m having another 50-something birthday today.  58 to be exact and I have to say – glad to be here:-) I remember the days when all of my friends were young and not even aware of any age on the other side of 30. Then the years flew by and 50-something crept silently into the story of my midlife trip.

But this is a good thing. My grandmother lived to be 97.  If I’m blessed with good genes and another 40 years, I plan to live it in a way that makes me happy and gives me a chance to make a bigger difference in the world in the second half of my life than I made in the first half. The way I look at it, 50-something is actually an amazing opportunity to do more, be more and live more.

Ain’t midlife grand?

    Karen — I’m sooooo glad to be connected with you. HAPPY YEAR ahead for you! And the next 40, too. You’re doing what you love, and that’s so important. How lucky for all of us who have gotten to know you in the last couple of years.

    I’m back from NY and meeting with my Mastermind group in Connecticut last week. Thinking bigger…..!

    Let’s schedule a call one of these days in June, OK?
    Hugs,
    Mary

    Happy Be-lated birthday! Hope you enjoyed it to the fullest. You know what they say, the new 58 is the new 48. There is a kind of “freedom” that comes with midlife. Thanks for all the uplifting posts you write and the wise words.
