40.   We have worked out which fish are worth frying and what's best to let go of….which is pretty much everything,

41.   We are not the women our grandmothers or even mothers were at fifty plus. We are free to do as we please whether its scuba diving or dance classes,

42.   We can laugh at our foibles. Instead of being embarrassed we see them for what they are – the little quirks that make us individual,

43.   You know what you like and don’t like. No one is going to force you into jeans if you hate them!

44.We are still beautiful. Whats a couple of wrinkles other than wisdom and experience!

45.   We don’t care about dressing too young. We know what looks good on us so we wear what we want,

46.   We know we can rely on ourselves,

47.   If we want long hair we have it, if we want it short we have it. It's our choice not the decision of the hair police,

48.   We have time to invest in our passions whether its women's rights, the environment or decorating cakes. We can indulge ourselves,

49.   We don’t whine when our partners want to watch football or do something different to us. We get on and do our own thing,

50.   We have stopped being apologists for ourselves! Don't like us or our beliefs? Jog on!

 So those are my ideas. What would you add? Or do you disagree with any of them? Are you celebrating life after 50? Would love to hear what you think, it helps to build a picture of what we as "older" women want from life.
