I know I've blogged a few times about the age 50, but now reality is really setting in.
The other day, while I was on the travel website called TripAdvisor a question prompted me to update my profile. One section called "about me" asked I change my age bracket from 35-49 to 50 to 64. I paused and stared at the age range. 35-49 or 50-64? Yikes, I froze and wanted to initially hold off on changing the age range. What was behind this hesitation? Why am I getting so bent out of shape on a number? I said to myself, no, no, no I'm not ready to be part of the 50-64 age group.
After logging off from the site and taking a little break, I realize it' true, it's happening and I simply should accept and embrace this next stage in life; seeing myself at 50. It's certainly not a bad thing but a new way to look and allow myself to branch out into more eye opening experiences.
I think enough have been said about the issue of age; for now. I say take the plunge. The new or latest catch phrase, "50 is the new 30". Now that's probably another conversation.
