I turned 50 years old today.
For a very long time, the idea of this milestone birthday filled me with dread, anxiety and sadness. Especially the realization that, at 50, it’s likely that more years are behind me than in front. But, something shifted in me and I now see my age and life in a much different way.
At 50, I’m the healthiest I’ve ever been — physically and mentally. I feel so much more alive and my life is in such a better place than it was when I turned 40. And now instead of being afraid of growing older, I’m excited about all that lies ahead.
So today, I’m embracing 50. And I think that’s something to be celebrated!
