Best things since I turned 50
I was pondering this today and here is my list (though I'm sure I'll come up with more!)
I'm now an official "Red Hatter"! I can legitimately say I'm worth something...I'm an Antique! We moved to Tennessee from FL and it is AWESOME here! I've mellowed I give myself more breaks I can blame my mistakes on "old age" I've started taking piano lessons! I give myself birthday parties every year I don't try to impress anyone anymore I really do stop and smell the flowers And pick up colored leaves And make snowballs and throw them at my son (who is 8) I am satisfied with more areas of my life Enjoying what I have, not seeking for more I'm doing little "nice" things just for fun, and it is! I take more time to read I don't demand perfection of myself anymore or of anyone else I forgive easier and expressing my feelings for those I love more often I'm walking out my faith Being a witness for God's love I sing whenever I want I've started a blog And I'm writing a book And I found this place :dance::dance: |
I just turned 50 in October 2008, and I have been making many changes in my life too, over the last few years, looking forward to this time ...
* I call this my JUBILEE year, so ... * I forgive myself and others more * I try to ignore petty things and petty ways * I try to focus on the positive more often * I do more things that "I" want to do * I take the time to smell the flowers * I watch and listen to the birds * I take peaceful walks in the country * I spend more time reading * I watch much less TV, if any * I rest more and don't feel guilty about it * I sleep in longer and enjoy it * I taught myself to play piano again * I spend time on my PC whenever I want * I come here often and enjoy it * I eat much healthier now * I spend more money on myself * I think I am worth a splurge here and there * I write poetry and songs * I sing all the time and out loud * I am trying to share GOD's love with others * I believe in the power of prayer much more * I spend some time each day being a prayer warrior * I accept myself more, foibles and all * I know that I know that GOD loves me * I am so grateful for each day of my life * I am so grateful for all the blessings I have * I wanted to move for so long, and we finally did * I am so very happy that we moved to this new place * I am more satisified with myself and my life than ever before * We are working on a dream we've had for many, many years ... |
:love: both of your lists . . . my favourite things came a bit after fifty --
-- no more TOM -- retirement |
TOM is still hanging on for me. Not every month, and it always surprises me. Can't wait for it to be over!
