On Turning 50



When I am old, I shall wear ripped jeans, Chuck Taylor tennis shoes in outlandish colors, and t-shirts with peace signs; I’ll ride on carousel zebras and drive kiddie cars and get soaking wet on log rides; I’ll hike up mountains and run through the rain and laugh at silly things like Krispy Kreme donut shops and Bubba Gump tennis shoes; I’ll dance like a fool on a Friday night; and sing praises to my King loudly and out of tune; I’ll jump up and down when the Spirit moves me and I’ll never look back to see who’s watching; It’s great to be 50 and act like 5; and just so people won’t be shocked when I’m old, I think I’ll do all of these things now. [Based on my interpretation of the book “When I Am An Old Woman I Shall Wear Purple”]
