Premiere roadmap of my massive 50 before 50 list

0
940

I turned 47 this year and the last four years since moving to Hungary have gone by so fast, so I decided this morning when I woke up to start a 50 before 50 list.

I plan to visit the places I have always dreamed of going. And now that I am older, let’s hope money will not be as much of a problem is decades past! Guess it is one thing that the wrinkles and the sagging parts have earned, the security of the next phase being more comfortable.

I hope to inspire others to tag along for the ride. We have time, and I hope the things are going to be more profound but just as important as my 40 before 40 list.

We are all students in this adventure. So much to experience and learn. I can only hope to become wise as I age, I hope to have a few more epiphanies before I die, and not just about hair colour and what style looks best on my body.

I can dream that I will be better in my fifties, sharper, and more clear, but already I find my mind slipping, sometimes forgetting the words to a song in midstream, where before I would never falter under stress.

I hope not for perfection but acceptance of myself. Age has a funny way of making things simpler.

If my thirties brought me family, then my fifties will be about setting the babes free. I am already bracing for the impact. 

For now I am starting to make the list, adding and subtracting the things I would like to do over the next 3 years. I have already started to tick them off as I get them done!
