I just did it. People ask me how it feels and all I can say is it feels the same as yesterday but not as good as tomorrow. Nothing to it. The only thing I need to change is exercise. I don't get nearly enough of it and that's my fault. I must get back on that elliptical. We're also looking at bicycles which I think I can do. Walking aggravates my back which is a product of my ample stomach.
Anyway, back to 50. I had a small party which I didn't want and will freely admit that but am happy that I have friends who insisted. It was nice. Intimate. Surrounded by people who I consider my truest friends who could be here. I have some who live far away and couldn't make it. One sent me a fabulous, beautiful bottle of tequila. And it's delicious. I had to taste it.
All in all, it's been a good time. I'm not skeered of aging. Several of my friends who are already over 50 have told me that it only gets better. I believe them and am looking forward to this decade. I wonder what changes and/or advances we'll see. I wonder if the collective consciousness will become aware of the need for each of us to care about our neighbor. I wonder if we'll see peace and sane prosperity. I just wonder. 50 is cool.
