Whew!   50 is NOT the new 20, 30 or 40

1. Certainly you've learned a thing or two, wisdom tells you your body is different and it needs to be respected - rest, water and exercise are your friends.

2. You've learned you don't have to "fit in" to BE IN...others are watching and learning FROM you..so be uniquely you!

3. Blowing your entire paycheck on a pair of shoes when you have other responsibilities is a no no!!!! 50 means you are financially responsible. 

4. You can really appreciate your parents..so instead of leaving the room when they tell the same story for the 20th time...you smile and silently say "thanks they're still here".

5. You've learned that finding your voice is powerful; however you know its not a weapon to be used to hurt, demean, or disrespect others.
