Hi Bev, great video. I’m 62 and a complete scrambled egg! Don’t know what I want and where I’m going. I’m heavily invested in family and problems they are facing, but I still loved your positive video. I’m certainly not at a stage with free time, I have an elderly father to care for and an autistic son, and more, But I’m learning to make the most of any small nuggets of time I get, and to realise that I need to move to the coast, as I find it so automatically relaxing. Xx
You are a caring spirit and dedicated mother and daughter. Try to carve out a small bit of time for just you. It could be an hour of reading a delicious book or cuddled up on the sofa with a purring cat, or a therapeutic bubble bath with a decadent glass of wine. I do not like wine so I use prepare a hot cocoa in a delicate China cup and a tiny biscuit. Oh, my! Such luxury! Starting at age 34 I took care of my beloved Gram for 8 years, and studied for another degree in a new career. At age 42 I graduated and worked full time got a few years until Dad got sick. Then cared for him for 3 years. After his passing I moved 1500 miles away and started over. Great career. Cozy home. Four cats and 6 foster kittens. 🐈⬛ Then Mom and StepDad needed care but I hired some services to share the load, because I had a life to live. I used the Senior services available to share the workload despite the guilt trips from my Mom. The best life lesson I learned was take some quiet time for my self care and mental health. 💅🛀☕️💇♀️🎀💄
Congratulations! You’re absolutely right it never is too late. I didn’t do my bachelor degree until I was 48 and have since certified as a coach, NLP practitioner, personal trainer. It keeps the grey matter active 😄
50’s can be a very busy time with teenagers (depending on when children were born, and also some people have older relatives to look out for) It’s a good time to do things you might have always wanted to do if you have the critical requirements of both time and money. It’s extremely difficult to do much without them, for example if working full time is necessary, though a career change is something to consider. It’s also a good idea to do things which require energy and stamina now. I am late 60’s and the signs of ageing are much more marked now. The one thing that’s going to help is to keep as physically fit as possible and that should be top of the list for anyone in their 50’s in order to do ok into later life. It’s also likely to keep us out of hospital if we fall etc. The other thing is to eat well and stay a healthy weight, and the benefits of that pays dividends as we hit the high numbers. The other thing is that all ages have their benefits but you can’t beat your 20’s. I had my children then and I moved about, lived in different countries but I had endless energy.
I laughed at the egg analogy. Thanks for sharing your thoughts. I feel like I'm at a tipping point with my youngest about to move out. And I really need ro sit down with my husband and start talking about what we want that to look like, rather than just letting the days happen, fighting the fires that come up, until we look up one day and realize years have past and it's too late.
50s are generally the bridge to being a senior citizen .most people look forward to their retirement years.Unless you are super rich and able to have the luxury of sooner . Then again ,if your health is good the world is your oyster .
It’s funny how we’re all interpret words differently. I think of senior citizens as people in their 80s and 90s. So for me it’s a very long bridge 🤩🤩. How do you interpret the term senior citizen? Thank you for taking the time to watch and comment 🙏 I very much appreciate it 😊
morning Bev .Thank you for your reply , I believe we all have an individual perception of life based on our current mental health. Which is a combination of environmental issues , especially Stress which ages a person affects the way we view life

Thank you. It is hard when there are so many commitments. Make the most of those small nuggets of time for you x

I got a certificate last year to become a Life coach, went through 1 year of school... I was 50. It is never too late x Thank you

I’m doing this now. Getting a master’s to be a teacher as a second career.

It’s so easy to let that happen. But good that you’re aware of it Tina x
I'm pretty sure I'm both a scrambled AND over easy egg, depending upon the moment 😂
🤣🤣 no idea where the eggs came from Deborah 😬

@queenscotia769 that’s very true.
