50

This is it, I turned 50 today and I am not sure what to really talk or consider about it.

The first photo of me in my 50s.

I can tell you I don’t feel bad, I feel really good. I am in a great marriage of 29 years this year. I am happily working my way through the transition to be who I truly am, and we are financially stable (albeit in eternal debt). All of this is far beyond what I pictured at the age of 20.

I do think I look better now than pretty much any other time of my life. Not necessarily just because of my physical looks in general, but because what I see is more closely aligning with what I feel. That plus I have kept my 100+ pound weight loss off for two years now, I am feeling comfortable letting loose a little, I think I found a good set point.

getting ready to head out for breakfast

That is it, no big insights today, just wanted to say I turned 50, my husband spent a wonderful day with me, and I am an incredibly happy woman. Here are some pics of the day of going out to breakfast with my hubby, then getting home and running him a game while our daughter attempted to get his attention for hours 🙂

  1. Happy (very belated) birthday! My own 50th birthday is coming up next year, not long away at all. Hadn’t much thought about that since my last birthday, and remembering it now gave me a slight shock! 🙂
    I love the photos at the end of this post, especially the cat together with the cat tattoo.

    1. Thank you 🙂 The tattoo is a mirror to one I have that we got as a memorial for our first cat Orpheus who passed at the age of 18, back in 2012.
