As I edged 50, it was my intention to start a Blog..... A Blog??!!! But I had never done so, where do I begin. It was my Kids, now adults intention to get me off of FB. They said I was too personal there. I couldn't care whatsoever, but "they" did, so it got me to thinking, why don't I try my hand at Blogging. Everyone was doing it, right?
As I said 50 was upon me, and I had the idea to do a daily log, a journal of my Life at 50. Well, my birthday was May 31st, and it now being November 14th, I am getting off to a late start, but as we travel this journey together, you will see why everything gets put off in my life. My Life hasn't been dull as of late, or for that fact, my whole life, but for now, my Introduction is to only say HI and see where it will go from here
50 has enriched me a LIFE that many can relate to, but many also ask, "Why are you not rockin' back and forth in a Mental Institution?" It has given and taken from me. To put it in a list is overwhelming, but I will try. Life has given me the Gifts of 4 Children - 3 natural and 1 adopted, being a Single Parent, being a Successful Businesswoman that has gained and lost, a Caregiver, Death of a beloved parent - My Dad, a Matriarch to my younger siblings, many intimate Relationships, an Injury, the loss of my Home and belongings to a Hurricane, my Knowledge of the dreaded Disease of Cancer whereto I witnessed the Deaths of many Dear Friends to which I cared for and said the Final Farewell too at their hospital bedsides, Mental Illness in my Family, the Honor of working with amazing people in Charity Work, many different Jobs, a Bevy of Culture from growing up so near to NYC, The Mountains, The Ocean, Soulmates and ultimately, my Twin-Flame, Bob
As I sit here, with an injury that I sustained from Hurricane Sandy, in a home that is still not completed in repairs 2 years after the fact, I will utilize this Blog to help me heal, mentally and emotionally. I will do that with laughs, emotion and with probably many tears.... Help me to make that happen. Help me heal. Just listen to me as I embark on this adventure with you of how you can BE 50 and STILL COOL
