So, I turned 50 today. Don’t feel it by a long shot, but there it is.
I don’t celebrate my birthday on my actual birthday anymore, 5 March or 5/3, as I shared that birthday with my beautiful Mum for so many years and since she passed its just not the same. Besides which, its a shitty time of the year having lost my Mum and my Grandad (in different years) around this time – right on my birthday.  So, I celebrate according to American dating – 3/5 or May 3rd.
But, 5 March will kick off my challenge. “50 things to do before Im 51!” Ive made a whole list – theres nearly 100 – and got some ideas from friends too, of loads of things to do and see, or try this year. They are goals I have, or they are conquering fears, or just plain old thinking screw it who cares how I look or what people think of me Im gonna give that a go!
I even got a bit crafty and made some boards for on my walls with all my challenges written out (and to add to) that will be pasted onto the ‘completed’ boards once done.
So, this year Im going to jump out of that perfectly good aeroplane, jump off that perfectly good bridge, dive to 50 mtrs, add some scuba certifications to my skills, wear a bikini for the first time in my life! Im also going to start looking after myself better, get into tip top shape now that I finally have my health under better control (who knew that all these years I have had a dairy intolerance and the things it was doing to me!!).
So, it all starts now! follow #50thingsb4Im51 to check on my progress.
