I’m turning 49 this year, so the big 50 is getting quite close already.
I actually feel more free these days. My kids are mostly grown up now, so I have more space and time for myself again. I’ve started making a few plans and small dreams for next year and I’d love to do something a bit adventurous before reaching that “magical” 50 milestone.
I even bought hiking boots last autumn, even though I’ve never been hiking or pitched a tent before

so that’s going to be a new experience for sure....
Life has been quite full and changeable over the years, and I’ve made mistakes I will probably always carry with me in some way. But despite everything, I feel peaceful and content in this season of life.
Being on my own also has its advantages. It feels calm and uncomplicated. And to be honest, I talk quite a lot, so I’m not entirely sure a man would see that as a bonus anyway.
Blessings to you too.
