Thanks for your responses. Iris, I lived in a small town in So Oregon for 10 years...basically my thirties...and loved it. I miss Oregon sometimes, it's where I learned to "check inside" and learned it was ok to just be me. I had a great job, and it set the bar pretty high. I love the party idea! I'm going to invite my mom, dad and sis for my 50th weekend in February, I think.
I've decided not to worry about what won't be done by the time I'm 50, but instead, look forward to my 50th year as a turning point for the rest of my life. My (smart) sister pointed out to me that I could fit in another 25 year career before I "retire"...and it's time to choose something that feels like fun and adventure and made just for me.
I'm so glad to meet you! This forum is full of 50+ year olds that absolutely ROCK. I'm so excited to find them. Our bodies lag a bit (ok, my body lags a bit), but my mind is racing with possibilities.
Thanks again for jumping in...Tessa.

I am getting ready to celebrate my 50th birthday with a party. I always thought my life would be so much fuller than it is.
Do you know how many other famous people are turning 50? LOTS.
Prayers and blessings. j

I was born in 1958.
I had goals aimed at by the time I turned 50. My initial goal was to be Healthier than I had ever been by 50.
I guess I'll have to revise those since I'll be 50 in less than 6 months. I do believe I'll handle turning 50 much better than I handled turning 40. I am a bit wiser.
