Shout-Out To My Ladies 50 and over!!!!!

My girlfriend called me the other day sounding a little down. When I asked her what was wrong, she said she’d received an application for AARP in the mail, and didn’t like to think she was now “old.”
“Old???”, I asked. “Are you kidding me? Baby, we are in our PRIME!”
Remember how life was when we were a teeny bit younger than we are now, and had a baby on each hip? We INVENTED multitasking! We could do laundry, pay bills and talk on the phone all at the same time. We rallied around a challenge, and had no problem meeting a work deadline, getting our brakes fixed, and making cupcakes for the the PTA bake-sale all in the same afternoon. Life was…hectic but rewarding, and we went with the flow of work, kids, errands and company dinners with our husbands without a hitch.
So what has changed? Just because we’re over 50, doesn’t mean we can’t pull it all together! Heck, I bet most of us are multitasking even more now than we used to. It’s become second-nature to us, and we’re teaching our girls and grand-daughters how to do it, too. After all, the world hasn’t slowed down as we’ve gotten older…it’s on technology warp-speed!! There are more gadgets to make life easy, but we still have to be on top of that technology to make it work for us. Perhaps life isn’t quite the same as those of you who are at the raising-kids-stage, but it’s still on semi-warp speed.
So the time we make for us, to do our projects, and enjoy our homes, and our lives should be even more special to us. We still love to decorate, bake, create, stimulate, educate, reciprocate and yes…even vegetate! But hold your horses!! I’m still water-skiing, power-walking, and hiking with the rest of you! We aren’t distracted by being full-time moms like we used to be, but it was glorious when we were!! Now, we can take some time for us, and enjoy some “ME time.”
Here’s a great big SHOUT OUT to all you wonderful ladies who are 50-plus…as you text, email, scan, transmit and receive all your technology on the information highway to the future!!! Life is not about to leave you behind, and neither am I!! I’m right here with you! Come see me!!
Tami Loves…still kickin’ it while being 50-plus!
