Ruthilicious at 49

It's hard to believe that I turned 49 yesterday. Or I was just dreaming?
Forty Nine years and it feels like nothing has changed. I am still the same crazy person I used to be. No more, no less. Errr.... maybe a little bit more. LOL



"Forty Nine" is just a figure. I'm still the same old me with a little new attitude. Though the word "little" might be debate-able but attitude is attitude. And that one depends on who you are talking to. wink*
49 is just a number. I still feel the same old me. Though I feel that I mellowed down a bit. Less on the drama, more on the diva-ish.Yah, the latter is indeed new.
Forty Nine years of blessings and achievements. God is so good, He plays favorite. And for that, I have a million reasons to thank HIM for.
Forty Nine years of challenges and struggles and I believe I passed them all with flying colors. Though I know there are hundreds more coming my way... just bring them on.
For 49 years I got my fair share of successes. But believe it or not I have more failures than you can imagine. What is more important is I picked myself up more than 49 times.
At 49 I have more than 49 friends and still counting. They are loving people who don't care if I have 49 dollars in the bank or 49 million dollars in debt. They just accept me for who I am.
I may not have 49 siblings but the 2 most precious ones I have are more than enough to make my life complete.
Forty Nine is the new 27. I maybe 49 years old but I feel like 27, seriously. I'm not bragging. But does it matter? I'm still the same old me. No drama! No botox! No BP maintenance pills! Just a little "hot flushes" every now and then. LOL
Pardon me, I'm not into SELFIE but theses photos are 49 years' worth of reminder how much I changed over the years. And next year will be my BIG FIVE O. And that will mark a new milestone that I need to face.
It's more than being a Golden Girl... it's more than getting qualified for AARP... it's more than getting my priority straight to get ready for retirement. Next year, will be the start of a newer me. But for now, I don't want to think about it for I have lots of plans that I need to achieve before that year comes. So let's start now.
