The 1/2 Century Club…

Who says life begins at 40?  Think again!  50 is the new 40!  Just ask my new friends on the Big Ride Across America.  That’s right, there are a slew of women (slew = greater than a few) that are either approaching 50 or have slightly surpassed that accomplishment.   They are all accomplished professionals (whatever that means) with passion, enthusiasm, commitment, perseverance, athleticism, grace and last but certainly not least, beauty.  I am inspired, sometimes awed by their personal magnetism, charm and good humor.  I say this to encourage women of ALL ages to ignore the preconceived images you may have of women (or men) over 50, because they are SOOOOOOO out of date.  Thanks to my 1/2 century role models and new friends Barb, Diana, Janet and Liz and soon to celebrate Tracy and Pauline.   I only hope 60 looks as good on me as it will on them!
