“50 is the new 25” got a big laugh (and a round of applause from me) when the Sex and the City girls visited Oprah for some promo on their new movie.
(Cynthia Nixon/Miranda made this comment for the record)
Wait a minute, I don’t feel my age…I still feel 25. But the great advantage I have is that I know so much more than I did then.
When you’re in your twenties, you think that whatever you decide to do is it.
Everything is so serious, the decisions made seem to be etched in stone.
A time to feel carefree and a time to improvise, but I feel more comfortable in my skin for that kind of activity now. And I’m a lot older than 25….
I remember waking up on my 40th birthday and thinking, you know what, I don’t give a crap, this is me, love me or leave me and I love who I am and I’m ok with that. I liked the feeling of finally settling in, losing the fear, taking chances and not worrying about what anyone thought about my choices and dreams.
I’ve decided for the rest of this year, I’m going to be bold, even bolder in my choices than I usually am. More spontaneous than feels comfortable. Dreaming bigger and better than ever, not taking no from myself as an answer.
And while I’m doing all that, I’m counting down to the opening of “Sex and The City/The Movie”. Those are the kind of girlfriends who would encourage me to go for it.
26 days to go and counting.
