5. Turning 50 was huge for me in a very good way.

Something happened inside of me. All of a sudden I did not care one tiny bit what anyone thought. I was not changed in my ways with people except I did no longer put up with any of that kind of crap. I can tell you that my life is better for it. Now, if my hair would only turn gray...very slowly. I am interested to see if there are any more changes in a couple of years when I hit 60.

Thanks for this article. Thanks for all of them.
