Fifty is a Milestone and the Ten Years Between the Ages of Forty and Fifty

Fifty

Fifty approached faster than I imagined. When I look back at the age of forty and everything within a span of ten years I am amazed. It is overwhelming how life evolves in ten years. I will say there were a lot of highs and lows. As I reflect back on the last ten years, it is filled with new addresses, new jobs, and new relationships.

Fifty and Ten Things Learned in Ten Years

  1. My divorce is one of the best decisions to come out of the last ten years. I swear turning forty was a major awakening. Also, a lesson to never believe I am stuck in a dysfunctional situation. Although, change is challenging it means progress toward a better life.
  2. I love discovering things that make me happy. It is not selfish to enjoy me-time or to do things that I enjoy for me. The solo meals are the best. Treat yourself to gifts.
  3. My health has become a major priority by incorporating fitness, healthy eating, annual check-ups and finding ways to de-stress.
  4. I learned it is never too late to try something new. This year I participated in a 5k. It was for a good cause and a lot of fun at the same time. I took a few yoga and pilates classes for added physical activities.
  5. The best moments shared are with those who support you in good and bad times.
  6. Change is a part of life and sometimes this means moving out of a comfort zone.
  7. The word NO is powerful and feels good beyond measure. It is impossible for me to be all things to everyone else if I am not taking care of myself.
  8. Spending time away is the best medicine even if it is solo.
  9. A new experience does wonders for outlook.
  10. I am not sure if there is ever balance but taking days off for vacation or mental health is a necessity.

Each year is a blessing and making the most of each year is the best way to live.
