Welcome To Fifty Five Is The New!

Hello out there!
What's it to you, turning the age of Fifty-five? You don't have to be turning it tomorrow, you could have already turned that corner a while back. That part doesn't matter so much.
While it's important what one feels, what matters most of all that one feels, that one feels anything at all.
So, as an exercise in self-examination and a way of getting over an incredible writer's block, I submit this blog to the World Wide Web, and I submit myself to a bit of mirror gazing.
Inspired by the movie "Julie & Julia," I will blog for one year, which will include my turning fifty-five, and see what I find.
Who knows? Maybe fifty-five will be something fantastic...like the New Me.

The New Sentinel

Emperess  by rcw


Fifty-Five is the New....
been thinking about that topic for quite a few passages and have arrived at several unique yet somehow not dissimilar notions. It's the new Thirty, the new Beginning, the new 100....what is it all trying to mean?

What I'm discovering is the fact that what ever age your Fifty-Five is, it IS the new. The new Discovery, the new Renewal...each day its own unfolding.  And that's okay. At the same time, it's also the New Realization. The New Eye-Opener.

There's a great deal going on these days....Lots of questions; who's working for who, who's zooming who...the Gulf Oil "Spill" ("Leak" what have you-it's all the same thing-a Disaster), economic problems, immigration...all the "sexy" news topics on constant display....where are we heading, as a nation, as a planet, as a species?

Fifty-Fife is the new...I've already cited the new Hope, still have a lot of that-but I am guarded and careful with my exuberance these days. I'm thinking Fifty-Five can also be the new Sentinel, standing alert and at the watch....and that's a good thing.

P.S.   We've entered our video in the "America's Got Talent" and "YouTube's Got Talent" contests.
Look for Boo Boo's Bargain Basement Band and if you like us, say so!  Thanks!
