I am turning 50 tomorrow and having a hard time with it. Is this normal? My husband turned 50 in August and seemed to be okay. I have been crying all week and not feeling so well when I think about this. No one close to me knows my feelings on this. Please let me know that this is normal and if not what can I do.

:cry:
 
I am 54 and having the time of my life.
Age means nothing - how do you feel about yourself?

Go out and do something new and exciting.

Have a super Birthday.
 
:sunny: I'm also 54. I remember turning 50. It did sting a little, but I soon got over it. It's just a number. Join AARP and enjoy the extra benefits! Now I'm looking forward to being 55 as alot of restaurants have perks for the over 55 group!
I just look at the fact the most of my family lives to between 90 and 100 so I still have half my life left.
Z is right! Start a new hobby, do something that you have always wanted to do but have put off, stay active, enjoy life and make the most of everyday!

Have a Great Birthday!!!
 
Thank you all! I think the thing that is bothering me most is that I am getting close to departing this world. Most of my family lived to be 90 and up. It is just the thought that I could be sooner.
 
I am turning 50 next month and if it weren't for the hot flashes things would be great :laughing: I think being this age is pretty good because I believe we have more wisdom and there is a sense of knowing who you are. I think we become more comfortable with our bodies and we are proud to be women. Well at least I feel this way. Celebrate being a woman and look forward to the future. I like that I am comfortable in my own skin.

Have a happy 50th. and it's good to know there are lots of us mature women out there. To all the red haters.

Also I'm with the other ladies do something different. A hobby or maybe something you always wanted to do but didn't have the nerve. When I turned 45 I got a belly button piercing. I'm trying to decide if I want a tattoo this year lol. Although on this one I may not do it.
 
I am 45 and age use to bother me, then I got to thinking, we really ought to just thank God for another year to be with our family and friends here on earth before he calls us home. If you think about it, you either get old or die young, so getting old can be just as much fun. I also agree that you get allot more wisdom, that makes life better, plus if you are lucky you get grandkids, You can spoil them rotten, and get revenge on your children for all the hard times they gave you. lol :laughing:
 
Personally I've hated every birthday since 35. Don't know why really, they just seem to make me sad.

Now, for me, at 43 (almost 44) I am way way past mid-life! And feeling very much like it.
 
I am 48 going on 49 and really think it is your outlook on life itself, I do competition speed skating and really enjoy what I do, I don't think of age too much, but know that everyone is in the same boat and life is what you make of it.Nothing really and truly is worth worrying about, just like sweepin, you enter and go to the next if you win great if not there are plenty of others that might hit, just enjoy life at where ever you are at :sunny: . ( and remember only you can make it good or bad).
