[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So, Friday is my birthday -- I'm turning 49. Normally, I take my birthday off and do something I want to do, but that isn't a possibility this year so I will be at work. I'm young looking and young at heart, but I'm one of the oldest ones in my office and I take some good-natured ribbing about it. That's OK, but every year around this year, I get sort of melancholy and wistful and it may be worse this year because I'm on the cusp of 50.

I have a wonderful life, great family, loving husband and awesome kid. I am a very lucky woman. As soon as the day passes, I am fine. I like to look back at what I've done, and sometimes I think I'm not nearly where I thought I'd be, especially professionally.

I know this is a silly post, but does anyone have a way to sorta snap myself out of this funk or make me feel better about the years passing without feeling bummed about all I haven't accomplished?

OP, I hope you grow to be one of those elderly women who ride around town on a Vespa with a poodle in a purple purse. Thing Maude from "Harold and Maude." Be that chick. Love you.[/quote]
