Thoughts on turning 50

Big news: Madonna is turning 50.

So I'm just a few months older than she is. Lovely.

They say you're as old as you feel. Myself, I do my best to keep a mindset where I can have fun and enjoy life. Not TOO difficult at this age. I went on 2 dives in Mexico the day before my birthday. I'll be going off to Busch Gardens to have some fun on my next vacation. I figure if one keeps enjoying life, and keeps the old body in reasonably good shape... who's to say "you're old"?

Only if you don't mind knowing it'll hit you in the a55 one day as well. :twisted:

Madoona is looking rough these days. (no offense)

I think that was botched botox or something.

Look at the arms? If Botox does that, keep me away.

Sorry, was a bit distracted by the face to see skeletor's arms. :lol:

If I was guessing, I'd say it looks more like bulimia.... Or... those darn English pot pies....

Told you, you get skinny living in England.

Doesn't matter if he knows it now or not. It's still coming.

I just watched 64-year old Roger Daltrey of The Who sing the lyric "I hope I die before I get old..." during a VH-1 tribute concert the other week with no discernible sense of irony.

LOL!

My sister turned 64 this year. I sent her a CD with only "When I'm 64" on it. She thought it was hilarious. I reckon that since she is still active and healthy that I might have some hope for enjoying life up to and perhaps a little while past that age.

Then again, there's my aunt, who still goes on international travels (she went off to Guatemala a few months back) at the age of 82. I can only dream of that sort of life...

I will be shocked, utterly shocked if I make it past 35

You'll probably be very surprised to see this post when you look back on your 50th birthday, like I did.

Bloody breathtaking how life seems to zoom past after the kids get into middle school. :roll:

I still think of myself in terms of early 20s.... I wake up most days and look at my son who I held in my arms (now 6 years ago) in the hospital at his birth... just bewildered by where the time has gone. I do have some regrets... but I'm honestly really happy... I made it over the depressing year 30 thing... and now I get to sit on the side-lines and watch as Shan hits the mark next year.... 40 Might be a tough sandwich to swallow though
