Over the past several years many women of a certain age have commented on how wonderful life is at age 50 and beyond. I've become one of those women of a certain age. I'm not certain how we get to this stage but it is wonderful to reach that stage. I'm pretty sure it comes with the wisdom of knowing that it really doesn't matter what others think of you and your approach to life - it matters how you treat others, view the glass as half full or half empty, and handle with grace and strength the inevitable daily wrenches thrown into one's life, whether it be related to home, family, work, relationships, you name it.
Each day IS a NEW day and you can choose to hold onto those difficulties experienced in the days and weeks prior, or you can choose to start fresh and attack the world with a smile and a positive attitude. Mind you this does NOT mean being a pollyanna and it does NOT mean that you don't stumble at some point during the NEW day. It just means that tomorrow, or even in the next hour or several hours, if you are fortunate enough for tomorrow to come, you get to start over and have that new day be the best day ever.
Happy New Year to all!
