Anyway, I'm 55. As in Years Old.
Man, that's weird.
Inside, I often feel waaaay young. I think most of us feel this way, super young and vital and ingenue...until we walk past a large picture window... At the same time I feel 55. Totally 55. In fact, I think I've felt like I was 55 inside for most of my life.
Weird, huh?
I actually think I've felt 55 inside for decades, but I didn't know it until I turned 55. I've been a very responsible person for most of my life and I've been super-adulty since I was twelve years old, the year my parents split up. I mean, really, about the only reason a young person "acts adult" is because their adult person or people aren't doing their jobs. That was me.
And this is me.
I'm 55 and I love it.
It's so much more than AARP and senior discounts.
- I feel completely and authentically myself now.
I feel so much more personally powerful than ever before. - I'm far more trusting of my instincts and ideas.
- I'm healthier than I've been in years.
- I get to be a grandmother.
- I'm married to a gorgeous guy.
(For 24 years now!) - I'm participating in volunteer work that I love.
- I love my job.
- I feel no need to apologize for ANYTHING I have chosen.
- Or explain.
- I'm better able to stand up for myself and for my needs.
- I have confidence in my abilities.
- I'm super, super completely happy.
I'm 55 and I love it.
