I'm Over 50, Now What?



If you've reached 50, Happy Birthday to you.

I've hit that magical number in my life. I'm over 50, 51 to be exact and I've applied for and received my membership to the AARP. I keep my card in my wallet because it gets me discounts on all kinds of things.

But, other things happen to a person when they hit the 50 years old mark. Suddenly certain foods are no longer good for you and some are. There are activities we're no longer supposed to try and then their are activities we should. It's a contradicting time.




It's like we have to bury ourselves in Post It notes to remember everything!






I'm going to see if I can sort it all out for you and me.

I turned 50 last summer. I received my Aarp card in the mail too. It looks like it is going to be something cool, so what a disappointment the card was. Thanks for all the great links. Can't wait to check them out.

I could lose an entire day following those links. Must. Stop. Too fun, though.

Enjoy rocking the 50s. I'll see you there soon enough.

Stopping by from SITS.

Missrobin, I'm glad you're enjoying the links. Follow when you can. Can't say that I'll stay 51 forever, but whenever you reach 50, I'll be there for you.
