Life Rewind
Am I having a midlife crisis? Well... nah I am not claiming that thought. So I recently turned 49 years of age and realized by this time next year, I will have turned half a century (God willing) years young! What a milestone right? Actually, every day is a milestone and should be celebrated. So when family members asked me what I was going to do for my 50th birthday celebration, I wasn't exactly beaming with excitement. As a matter of fact, I had been thinking for years about having a grand celebration for previous milestone birthdays (21, 25, 30, 40).
For my 40th, I wanted a "Favorite Decade" dance party for I LOVE to dance along with my huge family. The planning of such an event was like planning my wedding two decades ago-COSTLY! It would have been just as hyped as my wedding though! However, I have been able to get my groove on with other family celebrations over the years. There have been other milestone celebrations, and I look forward to celebrating even more next year.
Now Press Forward
Every year I boast about my favorite month of the year July and my Julying shenanigans with my fellow Cancers and Leos. This year's celebration was a little more low-key because of other life events that I am ever so thankful for. So I started thinking about things that I want to do and started to compile a list. It's NOT a "bucket list." It's a "counting up to 50" list. Alright, so what the heck is the "counting up to 50" list? Instead of counting down like we do for New Year's, I will like to count up to the next age of 50. I am just being different because I am Special! I started a list of 50 things I would like to do or accomplish before turning the age of 50 or when I turn 50 years young.
I am currently (at the time this is published) at number 20 on my list. I am sure there are 30 more items I can add to my list before July 2024 rolls around. Wink. In order to challenge me, one of the items on the list is to write 50 blog posts. This will be my first post for it's been a long time. This will be my countdown starting at 50. Now I have 49 more to go! Told you I am Special! Until next time, remember that life rewinds but now press forward.
