Magnolia

Okay.  My story.  It's a long one.  I'm over fifty after all and you can't live fifty plus years and not have something to tell.

I remember the Beatles on Ed Sullivan.  I remember the day JFK was assasinated and I lived in Memphis, TN before MLK was assasinated.  I remember the anger, the tension and the madness of the 60's in the Deep South.  It affected me. 

I love Aretha Franklin, Sam Cooke, Otis Redding and The Supremes.  I'm a southern girl through and through and if I could still pull it off would rather wear cut-offs and no shoes.

My hair is silver and I love it, I'm not the skinny young thang I used to be and that's okay with me.......besides, have you seen David Crosby lately?   I rest my case.

I blog and I'm a musician - something I took up in my forties.  I still dream of that novel I will publish one day and for now, I'm really, really, REALLY loving the focus, clarity and moxy that turning fifty has brought. 

Bring it on!

"They are caused from the lower levels of estrogen/progesterone in our bodies which have suppressed the natural testosterone we also have.  Since the estrogen/progesterone are not suppressing the testosterone as much, we are now growing "man hair..." (read comment)

Response to: Maureen Dowd says women are getting unhappier as they age. Do you agree?

"I had heard about this article on another blog, but didn't realize that maureen dowd had written it.  So, now that I know who the author was, well, I'm not surprised she sees the world through that prism. Marueen Dowd is the one who seems unhap..." (read comment)

"I haven't read the article, but I don't need to read it to say, "Yes!" Women are notoriously hard on themselves. We suppress our own needs for the well being of others and it's hard to be otherwise for most of us. Not to mention, that when we "do"..." (read comment)
