I am back!!!!

I have to apologize to all of my steady readers that I have been a little slip shot when it comes to posting on my beloved blog...............I have been busy and in sort of a midlife crisis..........I am turning 50.........3 weeks from today and am very unsettled about it...........It is not like I look old..........I certainly don't feel old...........but 50........holy shit...........where did the time go???? I have so many questions that keep popping through my head.......like.........when will the "turkey neck" start to form???  Will the wrinkles start coming out of nowwhere????  Can I still be stylish and sassy??   Will anyone care what I have to say anymore???????  All these thoughts go through your head when you hit a big milestone like the "big" 5-0..................

 

I have resorted to reading self help books on aging.....a terrific one is Gracefully, by Valerie Ramsey.....another.........How not to look old.......by Charla Krupp.........silly I know....but a woman wants to feel and look her best.........at any age.........

I can't say I have been doing anything foolish "midlife crisis" wise......only may be Facebook, of which I am addicted and enjoying the reconnecting with some terrific people from my past......

I am going to try to take it all in stride......try to look forward to the second half of my life and all of the opportunities that it can bring..........wish me luck!

Stay tuned later this week.........I am going to talk about when I was a professional cheerleader for the Philadelphia Eagles 30 years ago............and we all just reconnected!!!!
