The Other Side of 50

Standard

by Bernadette A. Sahm

It has been 16 years since I wrote my book titled Halfway Home The First 50 Years, I was just 50 years old at that time. Today I am definitely on the other side of 50 at 66 years old now. In many ways living my best and most peaceful and happy life.

But what have I learned during these past 16 years?

  1. What is meant for you will find you
  2. All anger and anxiety are a waste of time and energy
  3. If you aren’t living a happy life, you aren’t doing it right
  4. Many say that life is short but it can also be viewed that life is long
  5. Love what you do, or don’t do it
  6. God is good all the time
  7. Prayer is peace
  8. Even the difficulties and life challenges when turned around offer valued life lessons
  9. Kids will come and kids will go, always put your spouse/partner first
  10. Not every day is going to go your way and that is okay
  11. The longest relationship you will ever have is with yourself, invest in you, take care of you
  12. Wisdom definitely is a gift for the aging
  13. Some people come into your life for reason, some for a season, and the truest friendships are the most lasting
  14. Kindness costs nothing and yet has immense value
  15. Choices, chances, and change are definite, choose wisely
  16. You are good, you are unique and you are worthy

As I write this and reflect on the past, what I find is incredible gratitude for all my many life experiences!

I have been blessed … and I wish for you the same!
