Feeling fine

I'm not sure what it is about turning 50 that is exciting to me. Maybe it's that in a few years I will be able to get senior citizen discounts and I don't feel any older than I did when I was forty. I really believe in the old adage "You're only as old as you feel" because I don't feel like I thought I would feel when I turned 50. OK, the grey hair thing is starting to bother me but I have always said I would never color my hair just so I could look younger and I'm trying hard to stick by it. A friend of mine told to that the best way to celebrate your 50th is to plan the party yourself and she was so right! It has been fun and I just hope it all transpires as I have envisioned it in my head. As long as I can be surrounded by the ones I love it will be heavenly.
I even broke down and got myself a physical today and it only proved what I've known all along, that I am in perfect health. OK, so I'm overweight, but what if I lose weight and start getting sick, what would be the good in that! I'm starting to get OK with where I'm at. I exercise regularly and try and eat healthy most of the time and if I can lose a few pounds and still find pleasure and comfort in what I eat then all the better.
So to all of you out there, "Grow old along with me, the best is yet to be..."
