Today I thought about it a little and I want to share these thoughts with all of you. This year, God willing, I will be 53 years old, it is easy to say, but it has not been easy, because to reach this age a lot of water has passed through this river and by this I mean that I have had the opportunity throughout my life, to live many and varied experiences, good and bad, but that have made the person I am today, so I am grateful for them. But apart from this, looking back, I remember that I saw the simple fact of reaching 50, something quite far away...
At the beginning of my years, with my teenage friends, we would talk about how it would feel to be 30 years old and we would wonder what our lives would be like at that time; that nowadays makes me laugh a lot; because we had no idea of everything we were going to live... by the time I turned 30, when I met up with those friends, we would say, do you remember the questions we asked ourselves when we were 15-16, and many of us agreed that we would love to go back for a moment to those high school days when we did not have the worries that those moments we used to handle.
Source/ FuenteAs time went by and as I got older and older, I became more aware that I was approaching 50 and I had already heard from several of my older friends and acquaintances, phrases like: “after 50 the ailments of old age and diseases start to get worse” or “at 50 you are too old to work” and similar phrases. ... at the beginning, these phrases intimidated me a little, I will not deny it and when I reached my half century ha, ha, ha, ha, I was more aware of it, because I had already reached the dreaded age that many are afraid of...
And I must say that first of all, I am grateful to have reached this age and still counting, because many do not reach it and that is a blessing. Having said this, I must say that when I reached this age, many more experiences were added and many things stopped worrying me, things that were not really important and I began to give more priority to the things that really matter, such as my moments shared with my special people, my health, my emotional and physical well-being, my personal space, issues that previously, because I was immersed in many routines, I did not realize it. Now I love my moments of solitude, my peace.
I realized that, logically, our bodies are aging, but that by taking care of ourselves and trying to age with dignity, everything else becomes secondary. That we are still proactive people, regardless of the perception of other people and the experience goes hand in hand with us; on the other hand, at this time, we are to enjoy the years already worked, but if we still want to remain active, we can do it and contribute to help the new generations, because we have much to contribute and that keeping us moving allows us to stay healthy, if at our pace not that of others. Greetings to my dear fellow adventurers!

Hoy me dio por reflexionar un poco y quiero compartir estos pensamientos con todos ustedes. Este año Dios mediante, cumpliré 53 años, se dice fácil, pero no ha sido sencillo, pues para llegar a esta edad ha pasado mucha agua por este río y con esto me refiero a que he tenido la oportunidad a lo largo de mi vida, de vivir bastantes y variadas experiencias, buenas y malas, pero que han hecho a la persona que soy hoy en día, así es que las agradezco. Pero aparte de esto, mirando hacia atrás, recuerdo que veía el simple hecho de llegar a los 50, algo bastante lejano...
Al principio de mis años, con mis amigas adolescentes, hablábamos de como se sentiría tener 30 años y nos preguntábamos como serían nuestras vidas en ese tiempo; eso hoy día me causa mucha gracia; porque ni idea teníamos de todo lo que íbamos a vivir... ya para cuando cumplí mis 30, cuando me reencontraba con esas amigas, decíamos ¿recuerdan las preguntas que nos hacíamos cuando teníamos 15-16?, y muchas concordamos en que nos encantaría volver por un momento a aquellos días de liceo en que no teníamos las preocupaciones que esos momentos manejábamos.
Ya con el transcurrir del tiempo y al ir sumándole más años a mi vida, llego un momento en que fui más consciente en que ya me iba acercando a los 50 y ya había oído de varias de mis amigas mayores y conocidos, frases como: "después de los 50 empiezan más los achaques de la vejez y las enfermedades" o como "ya a los 50 se es viejo para trabajar" y frases por el estilo... en un principio, estas frases, me intimidaron un poco, no lo voy a negar y ya cuando llegue a mí medio siglo ja, ja, ja, fui más consciente de ello, pues ya había llegado a la temida edad a los que muchos le temen...
Y debo decir que primeramente, estoy agradecida de haber llegado a esta edad y seguir contando, pues muchos no llegan a ella y eso es una bendición. Una vez dicho esto; debo decir que al llegar a esta edad, se fueron sumando muchas más experiencias y ya muchas cosas dejaron de preocuparme, cosas que realmente no eran importante y pase a darle más prioridad a las cosas que de verdad importan, como mis momentos compartidos con mis personas especiales, mi salud, mi bienestar emocional y físico, mi espacio personal, cuestiones que anteriormente, por estar inmersa en muchas rutinas, no me percataba de ello. Ahora adoro mis momentos de soledad, mi paz.
Me di cuenta de que, logícamente, nuestro cuerpo va envejeciendo, pero que al cuidarnos y tratar de envejecer con dignidad, todo lo demás pasa a ser secundario. Que seguimos siendo unas personas proactivas, independientemente de la percepción de otras personas y la experiencia va de nuestra mano; por otro lado, ya a este tiempo, estamos para disfrutar de los años ya trabajados, pero si aún queremos seguir activos, podemos hacerlo y contribuir a ayudar a las nuevas generaciones, pues tenemos mucho que aportar y que al mantenernos en movimiento nos permite mantenernos saludables, eso si a nuestro paso no al de los demás. ¡Saludos a mis queridos compañeros de aventuras!

Don't think too much, I'm over 60... but they say the 50s are the new 30s 😎

Thank you for your visit, best regards!!! 😊
It's true, our perspective of age changes as we age. My siblings and I were once talking about how our definition of "old" had shifted upward as we got older. We asked my father, who was in his 90s at the time, what he thought "old" meant now. He said, "I'm there." I am 68, and I try to remain young at heart, even though my body keeps reminding me it can't do everything it used to be able to do.
That's right, as we get older we are perceiving these new changes with different eyes... Because we are already reaching those ages that we thought were far away... Our body reminds us and even people. But we must keep the heart young that remains the same. Thanks for your visit🌹
Thanks You ♥️
Thanks You 💞
There's a phrase that says that the older we get, the older 'old' becomes. We kind of shift our goal posts, don't we? But despite the bodily changes, it's all still a state of mind. We should not let it stop us from living a full life!
That's right, the mentality helps a lot to have wellbeing, it influences a lot. Thank you for your visita♥️
