Reflections upon turning 50:
- A quick anatomical survey reveals that I still have all of my original parts, sans tonsils. Were I a car I would be considered "vintage mint condition."
- I've carried some old-fashioned notions about what this age is like, so it thrills me to report that I still have my hair (and it's still brown) and my all of my teeth (which are, happily, not brown).
- I am thankful for having a sense of purpose in my life -- make that TWO purposes -- that inspire me to rise before the sun every single day. (hint: they eat hay for breakfast)
- I am lucky to have a lifestyle that demands energy, stamina, creativity, humility, and a sense of humor. The sturdy wheel barrow and the very supportive husband are also bonuses.
- I know that I have a fondness for bashing social media, but even I admit that it is so very nice to be in contact with friends I met well over 30 years ago. And social media has introduced new friends (human and equine) who have brought unthinkable joy to my life.
- But I still hate cell phones. They turn some people into boors. So I'll stay old-fashioned on this one.
