I honestly feel as though I am entering the 2nd half of my life. They say life begins at 40, but I'm believing that REAL life is ignited at 50. At 40, I did develop new awarenesses but I think that it is now that I am actually beginning to really live.
Physically, I'm a mess. I have pains like I've never had before. Oh my back, my legs, hips.......they HURT! And there are the illnesses I wish not to disclose here. And there is the memory loss issue....that scares me! But with it all, I just press on anyhow for one reason. I am excited about life!
I'm learning much more. I'm being given more opportunity to do the things that I truly love. I love these things so much that I am doing them without the privilege of compensation. The money would be good, but money is not what motivates me to live and walk in my purpose. Some may say that I'm a fool for doing anything without getting paid, and perhaps they're right. It's not that I don't need the money - quite the contrary actually. But I absolutely and simply love helping others and being a blessing to them. There is not enough money in the world that would give me the satisfaction and joy of knowing, loving, and living my purpose in life.
Welcome to my 2nd half!

I hear ya Carla - I have these issues too and I am only 42 - Lord help me now! I have a notebook that I must write everything down because if not, I will forget it, but I am finding that this is a joyous time in my life I believe the best is yet to come for me and for you too!
