at the moment.
I will turn 50 next month and it has brought about some deep thinking. I am conscious of the fact that life is short. And what do I want to do with the rest of it.
Do I want to change professions?
Not at this time. But the thought is there and I'm open to new ideas.
I would like to open an Etsy shop but have postponed that until . . . I don't want to do it halfway and it needs more thought. As in I'm afraid that what I think will look great will look pathetic.
I would like to travel more but then there has to be a balance in that. But I also know that age catch up with me eventually and by then I want to be satisfied with what I've seen and have few regrets.
Giving to others with time and talent. How best to do that.
Blogging - do I write some of the pieces that I keep revising in my head?
And how not to feel like I have to do everything at once. That there still may be lots of time.
That is where I am.

Ah, turning 50 will do that to you. :)
My favorite teacher says that 'sometimes we just need to step out to find out.' I often think of that and it moves me to action. Usually it's the not-knowing which paralyzes me and it's freeing to finally *do* something and thus discover if it was meant to be. (I'm thinking about your mention of the etsy shop thing, especially).
Just a thought! I'm sure you'll survive turning 50 just fine. Took me a whole year, but I survived it. :)
Loved reading your thoughts here this morning! Blessings, Debra
I turn 50 next April so I'm going through a similar period of introspection.
Life goes by fast, doesn't it?
I like that you are thinking things through. Whatever decision you come to - let it marinate before acting on it.
And not making a decision is making a decision.
Believe me, fifty is such a good place to be. I was there and I loved it. So many choices.
Best of luck.
Blessings too. Barb
Thank you all. Yes, life does go by fast.

I don't know. I'm 62 now, and I haven't got a thing figured out. :<) When I was 50, I had two teenagers, one of whom got her license. I didn't have a minute to think about my age. :<)
