I'm Fifty Today...How did I get here so fast? [View All]

[divineorder]

Yes, I'm the big 50 today. Got my AARP card two weeks ago.

I thought I would be more distressed at this age, no kids and hubby and all, but I feel surprisingly content and optimistic. You never heard about that when you were a kid feeling this way at this time of your life. Instead all you ever heard about was angst and growing into a cranky conservative. Instead, I'm pretty liberal, like rap and current pop music, don't care if kids are on my lawn (I don't have a lawn-and my condo caretaker handles that anyway).

So what's the deal?
