So here I am another year older – and wiser I would like to think…
On my 50th birthday last year, there was the party, the hype, and of course the dread of the realization that I have approached the
age most women want to forget about. I spent a lot of my time trying to overcome the anxiety of this age that I didn’t have time to embrace what my life has been about – and what I now would like it to become.
I have decided that the most important aspect of life, at least for me, is to know how to make myself happy. Yes, having your health without a doubt is invaluable, but happiness creates a healthy lifestyle and offers so many more riches that life has to offer. Peace of mind cannot come without it.
With my new found wisdom, I have decided moving forward with my life, I am going to take the advice of one of my favorite poet’s – William Purkey and do exactly this:
“Dance like no one is watching,
Love like you’ll never be hurt,
Sing like no one is listening,
Live like it’s heaven on earth.”
Happy Birthday to Me!
