Today I’m 57! What a trip! The years fly by, don’t they? And I’ve had my burdens, but mostly I’ve had an amazing journey so far! And I’m truly looking forward to what comes next!
55 seems like a big milestone to me. Retirement communities are 55+, right? I can get a 10% discount now on Tuesdays at Ross! And my retirement options are not such a distant nebulous thing in the far future anymore. Get old is weird. And fabulous.
Along with a fun trip up the California coast (pic), I’m also spending my birthday doing some serious reflecting.
I’m not gonna lie. 50 has some challenges: body parts I never even noticed before are starting to look old (hello elbows?!), I put on and take off a sweater about 20 times a day, and the bathroom scale is obviously broken.
