….after
years of playing second fiddle…prioritizing hubby…kids…..etc….I for one want
more out of life in my 50’s……the urge to find personal fulfilment is
overwhelming…..I had heard about the hot flashes & depression…. I wasn’t expected the new found appetite for life I am experiencing…
…your
50’s are supposed to be a time of calm & domesticity….right? Time to
take a huge sigh of relief. The hard work of raising a family is somewhat
behind ya…..the challenging years of teething & temper tantrums are a
memory….it’s time to enjoy some quality me time….and hubby time..at last…….the
old cliché about settling down may be off the mark….far from settling down….50
represents danger…danger Will Rogers…lol….kids…..marriage…life as it is……may n
longer seems to hold the appeal they once did…..throw in a hardy cocktail of
hormones…once all that kicks in a gal gets to feeling a bit restless….
….it’s funny how us
gals change when we turn the big 5 0……for me it was/is a time to tape in to all
that I am and or all that I want to be….I am not around to please anyone ….what
a relief…no more people pleaser here folks! I can be the wife…the mother…the
friend…the ME I wanna be. I think 50 is such a critical age for
gals…..full of conflicting feelings & emotions….many of us have spent our
lives raising kids ....being a good wife….as well as working…now ya feel the
urge to rediscover your youthful passions…..to include sexuality…just sayin
…I read that chicks
undergo a seismic hormonal change between 45 & 55…lower levels of estrogen
& increased testosterone…which means less nurturing & more
bitching…..lol….amazingly liberating…..the dilemma ……knowing how to respond to
this new cluster-fuck of feelings/emotions……is it better to make radical
changes or look for less disruptive solutions…..I guess that’s for each of us
to decide…
