Hi…I would love to ask if I may publish your list of 50 things in 50 years, so that I can put it on my blog, of course with credit by you! I’ll be turning 60 this September…and This could be used as a list of great thoughts to end the last 5 decades. Please email me at (deleted) if this would be acceptable. I love reading about you and your “boyfriend”…It makes me wish I had treasured my three grown sons “growing up” more than I had (oops, that is NOT a regret, I promise!) Thanks sweetie, and hope to hear from you soon. I’ve been reading your blog for over a year now.

Thank you so much for your kind words Becci. I’m flattered that you enjoyed my 50 Things post. Thank you in advance for asking about publishing it on your site beforehand.

The work on this site is legally copyrighted and therefore unavailable for republication in print or on-line, although I would love it if you would link to it. But even better than that, you should write your own list with your own wisdom that is uniquely yours!

Love them ALL!
I think you could add, “You never know how much God loves you until you have a child”… or, in my case “You never know how much God wants to strangle you until you have a child”. But I’m sure that’s irreverant, so I might just leave it out.

From alllllll the comments, I’d say this was a success. It’s amazing how time allows us to be wise.

Wonderful wise words! I especially love #44 (though maybe I’m just looking for a reason to buy a new handbag… like I need either a reason OR a new handbag).

I’m fine, thank you for asking. I love and appreciate my readers so much. It’s nice to be missed!

I’m feeling called to be still for a time as it relates to this blog, and to focus on other areas of my creative life. I plan to continue writing here, at some point, but probably not four and five times a week anymore.

You are a very wise 50ish girl. I would add that nuns, with vocations well-lived, really help people. I loved watching them on Oprah the other day. Yes, the rest of us are pushing paper, but I love the tangle of beautiful words we write.~~Dee
