50 in 50 - 2024 update!

November 30, 2024 Arlene Giddings

*Disclaimer - this post has nothing to do with a cat
but look how cute he is…how could I not post that?

Years ago,
I started my plan to do
50 things BEFORE I turned 50…
& then 50 came.

So I changed it to
50 things in my 50th year…
but then
50 turned to 51.

So then I adapted and reacted
& decided to make it
50 in my 50’s
and that feels doable.

Well, I got to cross
try rock climbing
off my list!
I am not going to lie…when I signed up
for this class, I did not realize
it would be as HARD as it was…
I struggled. I fought. I felt like I was never
going to get to the top of even ONE of
those damn walls, even though everyone
else in the course seemed to be scurrying up
there hardly breaking a sweat.

Then finally, on the last night of the course,
I MADE IT TO THE TOP.
And yep, it was probably an easy wall
but that doesn’t matter. I did it. I finally did it. :)

This has probably the
most active I have ever been
in the fall…I have joined a gym,
tried pickleball, am going to the sauna,
hitting my steps.

I am also trying NOT to
focus on the extra weight I am carrying
in the rock climbing photo.
I am trying to focus on the feeling of
sheer effing accomplishment I felt at that moment.
And how I want to keep that momentum going.

So today I crossed this one off my 50 in 50 list.
And wondered
what can I cross off next!?! :)

Suggestions?

In 50 in my 50's, 50 in 50 Tags 50 in my 50's, 50 in 50, rock climbing, timmy the cat
