[quote=Anonymous]I love being in my mid-50s. I've always been an old soul, so I finally feel like I'm comfortable with myself. I've embraced a lot of geeky hobbies and interests that I was too embarrassed to admit I liked in my 20s and didn't have time for in my 30s-40s. In my 40s, my life was such a rush--up before dawn to commute 45 minutes to work; lunch hour spent setting up dr appts and running errands; hurrying home to pick up kid from after-care, then sports, homework, nutritious dinner, laundry bedtime. Now that the youngest is in college and I'm working from home (plus I'm at a stage in my career when I am fully competent in my job but not interested in moving up the ladder), I've gained about 5 hours of free time every day. I've reconnected with old friends, finished backburner projects, and even got the dog that I've always wanted but never felt I had time to care for. This might be the best time of my life. [/quote]
