So, I've not been around here near enough. But, everytime I come here, you inspire me in some way. You're doing such a fantastic job and would that we all take a lesson from you dear friend. :) I just love what you're doing. I just love it. Eileen,

I must admit I am so loving being in my 50s (the closer side to 60). Simply put I look back and see that the 20s new married life; 30s life on hold with children; 40s who am I again?, I think I lost myself - 50s Ah Found me, wow,it's great! Bring on further adventures. New to you site, Eileen – enjoy what I’ve read so far. I must admit I am so loving being in my 50s (the closer side to 60).

We barely have to work a bit to feel alive and full of zip. We can stay up till all hours and bounce right back. Abuse our bodies with bad habits with little apparent harm. I rebel against the extra sleep and self-care rituals that are now mandatory, after living on auto-pilot when it comes to caring for myself in my earlier life. Still, I wouldn't trade who I've become for all the maintenance. Bit by bit I'm releasing my stubborn resistance and doing more of what's good for me, even resigning myself to the idea that if I have to put 30-40% of my life into taking care of myself, the quality is still far better than being a nubile 20-year-old who knew nothin' about life. :) I'll look forward to hearing Gregory Anne's tips. Heaven knows, I can use all the help I can get! When we’re young, we’re amazingly malleable. We barely have to work a bit to feel alive and full of zip.

As I've probably mentioned, yoga is back in my life, and though I can't twist and turn myself like I could when I was 30-something, I still feel the benefits. And I think I actually appreciate the spiritual aspects more than in my younger, leaner days. Shine on, Eileen!

It's hard to find that balance.
