Turning 50

It's my birthday and I'll cry if I want to....



Well ok, I'm not crying. But it IS my birthday and I think turning 50 deserves a blog entry. I think the misery of turning 50 is that you realise time has just slipped by, and you've not really achieved any of the things you set out to achieve.  I mean, I'm not a famous author. I don't even write. Hell I'm flat out reading most of the time!!  I haven't finished my Phd.  I haven't managed to save enough money to even contemplate retirement, let alone retirement in the near future. And I didn't lose weight. It's all so hopeless, and I've run out of time. Like so many of my deadlines just plain not met.

However, I am blessed with a wonderful husband, and a loving family, and a roof over my head, and life is pretty good. Plus the real upside to turning 50 is that the clock really can start over again. I can do all those things by the time I'm 60 - thus giving myself another 10 yrs up my sleeve. 

So this is as good a place to set the direction.. state my goals to I can stick to them.. share with the world so that they cannot be broken.. And so my goals for the next 10 years are:

ummmm.....

hrmm........

OH who needs goals anyway! Stupid things. Life never really goes to plan anyway. So I say "no" to goals! There! I feel much better now :)

Well I think your dancing has improved significantly. Let me leave you with a deep and inspiring quote from one of my fave twitterers -
"MAKE MORE SENSE!" - me to a knitting pattern "DRINK LESS BEER!" - the knitting pattern to me-knitterplease
No charge - use that one as you will :)
