Such a refreshing perspective. As a female, we are groomed to fear aging at all costs, which I am actively trying to reprogram that fear, which is definitely an uphill battle. I loved your viewpoints, particularly about the peace in accepting who you are.

I can’t wait to be the 80 year old in the gym bringing back leg warmers, tights, and leotards!

We ARE conditioned to fear aging, and I'll tell you, 30 was freedom, 40 was a different kind of freedom, and 50 is the most freedom yet. (Can't wait for 60!)

I learned a new acronym today—IDGAF! Definitely the theme of my 50’s so far. My energy is for me. Done wearing myself out trying to make other people happy. Especially people who don’t reciprocate.
