I turned 50 this year and one thing I've noticed is that certain stages in our lives lend themselves to re-invention. To celebrate 30 I had my ears pierced again, at 35 I had my ears pierced a third time. At 40 I went back to work and became an elementary school librarian/computer instructional aide. That's when I started to realize that re-invention is a good thing. Turning 47 I quit being a librarian (I would prefer to work with teenagers, but, that's another entry) and went to work for Borders to learn the retail/book business. 49 I joined Weight Watchers and decided to lose some weight and get in shape. And now I'm starting a blog... and running... and looking forward to another re-invention. What will I be when I grow up? Stay tuned and join me on the journey.
