I was just realizing that in almost exactly 6 months I will be turning 50 years old. I am not sure how I feel about it, since I really don’t feel that old, and I am not sure I look that old. I really hope I don’t.
Years ago I had thought I would try and run another marathon when I turned 50, I ran one whe I was 35, and it seems so long ago. Now I would like to just lose 20 pounds by my birthday on January 23rd. So I had better start trying, I keep saying that I am going to do it but for some reason I just have not been successful at “sticking to it”. I know I would feel so much better at crossing that birthday if I felt better about how I look. Not that I am vain, because I really am not.
Tomorrow Daisy has her big knee surgery which has been stressing me out. Not only am I worried about her, but the recovery will be long and the cost will be significant. I am taking 2 weeks off to be with her so that she won’t be so stressed and I can keep an eye on her. Say a prayer for us both.
Hoping that all goes off flawlessly for the pink nosed pup and her recovery is as smooth as can be.
I’ll be thinking good thoughts for cute Daisy today.
daisy is lovely! im sure she will pull through and bounce right back!! her breed is strong so she will probably be ready to play around the cottage before she should! 🙂
p.s. 50 is the new 30. in this economy no one is ready to have any fun or do anything because no one is established until they are in their mid to late forties. 50 is like the rebirth of your childhood. pat yourself on the back for all you’ve accomplished and say hello to the adventures you dreamed of but never had the time or resources to do and then execute!
and if your really worried about the weight… i have the best exercise/diet plan. easy can be done from home and non-expensive as far as equiptment/food i lost 10lbs in one month and i checked with my doctor.. it was a healthy diet and exercise plan!! if your interested let me know i’ll give you the info!
Speedy healing, Daisy! And good luck with the pup-sitting… she’ll likely rebound must faster than you think. Hope all’s well!
“somethingelse” made such a nice comment above about 50 being the new 30! My own 50th is just around the corner, and most of the time I’m a little traumatized about it. I’m not sure what 50 is *supposed to* feel like, but I’m pretty sure it’s much older than I feel now!
Good luck with the surgery, Daisy! We’re all pulling for you! Hey, I have a birthday that ends in a “0” coming up, too, and it’s not one of the good ones either …
I hope everything went well with Daisy today! Your house looks amazing! 🙂
