What happens now?
Ok, so if I am almost 50 and I live to be a 100, that means I am half way through my life. My grandmother Eva, my moms mom, lived to be 104 and was as healthy as a horse up to the day she peacefully died at home. What have I done with the last 50 years of my life and what will I do with the next 50 years? It's so easy to look back and see how you would do things differently. There are a few things I would change but on the whole it is what it is. If the decisions I have made and the experiences I've been through hadn't happened, I wouldn't be the person I am today. I truly believe that everything happens for a purpose and a reason. I like who I am today. Getting "older" is cool. Things that used to drive me nuts when I was younger don't bother me quite so much anymore. I have relaxed in some areas of my life. Like housework. What is up with that? I used to freak out if things weren't just so. Before we left on vacation I would tear the house apart to clean it. Even colsets. Just in case someone broke in they would find my closets nice and clean. What a freak. I find it is easier to let it go a little more than I used to. I still have a hard time sitting still. Except on cruises. Maybe because I am trapped on a ship in the middle of the ocean and can't get off. I will actually nap and read books. What a pleasure. I don't do that at home because I always feel there is something else that needs to be done. Hopefully during the next 50 years I'll learn to let that go too.
