Living to 50 years of age has been quite the accomplishment for me. And the next 50? No way to predict those years effectively. Decisions on how to live the next fifty will obviously come into play. Situations I put myself into will also factor into the mix. Touch choices will also play a role, but I think the secret there is to not make them appear as such. Under the guise of a new lease on life, I think turning 50 can give you the opportunity to get away with a lot of fun stuff. Hedonistic endeavors can be interpreted as “living life to the fullest.” Laziness could be explained away as a “rest well earned.”

Going into the next fifty years could truly be like starting over. Each time you confront something in the form of opposition, try flashing the “50 card” and maybe ask for a pass. Remember though, with every great plan some cautionary tact needs to be observed. Most will tolerate your new found “lust for life” but there’s a good chance it will also aggravate those closest to you. Also, those who DO become aggravated will be the first ones to rain on your parade of new found life. No worries. You can follow my lead and always claim an early case of dementia.
