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.

Art Of Being Patient

 Space Seed  by rcw
(talk about patience, this one took a few years and four graphics programs to complete!)


Fifty Five is the new what?  What are you today?  The concept here is supposed to be a youthful comparison but it doesn't always work out that way.  Like right now.  Oddly enough, Fifty Five feels a lot more like 155 today...some reasons are easy to figure, others are not.

Suffice to say I'm going through one of those "did I waste my life?' questioning moments, on the heels of a few personal glitches...just the perfect frame of mind to bring on the self-doubts, that old black magic called depression.

But rather than give into it, I'll face it for what it is and move on.
Did I waste my life?  No.  I didn't get a career with a lot of money....but I did live a life with a lot of experiences...most important though, I think I helped some people.  So that's not it.

I know!
I'm anxious, wanting the music, writing and artwork to take off! Silly girl!  Everything happens in its own time...I just gotta keep at it, applying energy, work and belief....then let it be to happen as it will.
Isn't it funny, how just a little analysis brings out the answers?  I feel a lot better now.
It is late, so I'll keep this entry short, but still it is an important observation.

For today, Fifty Five Is The New Art of being Patient.  I've lived this long, what's a few more minutes?
