The Fifties

For a woman, the fifties represent a  defining point.  She can be astounding, or simply be older. Her life can be rich with adventure, love and experience. Or, it can be effort to wake up each morning, and look in the mirror. This drastic contrast is the end result of her thoughts, and her life choices. The woman who has an amazing life at fifty, has worked to do so. She has spent time developing herself as a person. She has expanded her mental and physical horizons. she has maintained an attitude of curiosity and wonder. She sees the glass as half full. And, she has spent the previous decades doing her inner work. If she has been consciously aware, and actively committed to personal growth, the fifties are magnificent.

The fifties can be a time in life where where everything comes together. A woman at this juncture can be at her fullest form of expression, both personally and professionally. She has a vast perspective. She’s had time to try on the life-script she was handed at birth. She’s also had time to erase the information that doesn’t work for her, and create her own original script. She has full use of the power she experienced in her forties, but now, knows exactly how to use it.

Power is an interesting commodity. It can be oppressive, or nurturing. It can be controlling, or  generous. A woman who has been committed to the creation of  authentic power is the embodiment of  all that is good and valuable. This form of power is healing and transformative. It is felt by all those around her, and all she meets. For a woman in her fifties, it is, the “IT” quality. Because, by this time, you either have “IT,” or you don’t.

There are women who age, and women who are ageless. Being ageless comes from an inner attitude. It is the anticipation of more to learn, and more to give. It is the knowledge that life has both good and bad, but overall… it’s an amazing journey. Being ageless means there is an internal vitality that breaths life into the day-to-day activities, as well as future goals. Beauty, at fifty, is the ability to access the power within the heart and mind, while allowing the spirit to shine forth. Beauty becomes a way of being, rather than a way of looking. Whatever life experiences have been lived, are now visibly displayed for all to see. There are scowl lines or laugh lines. There is a vacancy in the eyes, or there is a keen glow.

Dating a woman in her fifties can be a truly liberating experience for both parties. She has an ease of deportment and ease of deposition. But she knows her mind, and won’t compromise her values. You’ll know exactly where you stand. She’s seen enough of life to help you make major decisions. She’s also smart enough to let you live your own life. She has learned by this time that we are each responsible for ourselves. She may guide and assist, but she won’t do it for you. She has had the time to know the mind of a man, and will allow you to have your own thoughts. After all, she wants her own mind as well. She’s done raising children. She doesn’t want, or expect you to be one. She wants a man by her side, but not a man in her shadow.For a woman, the fifties represent a  defining point.  She can be astounding, or simply be older.
