Once Upon a Time…

Once upon a time…

Once upon a time i turned fifty .

This beautiful chandelier was at a Air B& B home we rented on my 50th Birthday😍 for a weekend and just chilled out relaxing in it. It was in the country, in Oklahoma. But I loved it. Never considered myself a country girl. But the laid-blackness and old charm gave me a nostalgic feelin'. And the chandelier and art inside the old home just gave me warm fuzzies.

You see, I'm realizing life in my fifties is defining a new me. I was afraid to make a decision today, that involved my future . And I started thinking- Wow, do I want this!?

...Or this?

Becoming 50....was like a huge deal! And then came 51 and 52 wasn't far away... my fifties have caused me to look at life so differently.

i mean just the other day I was thinking about what I wanted to spend the rest of my life doing. And I thought about pursuing professional goals. I realized with all my experience I could take some tall strides and reach for more. Or I could begin to build towards my dream .

And the dream is paramount, right now. Then I remembered who I'm partnered with and realizes he has a dream quite similar to my own.

So... the dream wins .

I guess for me.. the fifties are all about me. And being me is a challenging job sometimes. Where I find joy and what makes me smile is what I will partake of more... and that's pretty cool for me, right now. Fifties are defining me.

And... i am so cool with that!
