Life after 50 is shared via sh_khatijah@yahoo.com

2. An interesting
perspective…

3. A wise saying. Enjoy!
“Time is like a river. You
cannot touch the same
water twice, because the
flow that has passed will
never pass again. Enjoy
every moment of life.”

4. For those that are already 50,
…start practising.

5. For those who are almost 50,
…get ready.

6. For those whom 50 are a long
way off,
…help your parents do it.

7. For those over 50 years
old…

8. Focus on enjoying people, not on
indulging in or accumulating material
things.

9. Plan to spend whatever you have saved.
You deserve to enjoy it and the few healthy
years you have left. Travel if you can afford
it. Don't leave anything for your children or
loved ones to quarrel about. By leaving
something, you may even cause more
trouble when you are gone.

10. Live in the here and now, not in the
yesterdays and tomorrows. It is only today
that you can handle. Yesterday is gone,
tomorrow may not even happen

11. Enjoy your grandchildren (if any) but don't be their full time
baby sitter. You have no moral obligation to take care of
them. Don't have any guilt about refusing to baby sit
anyone's kids, including your own grand kids. Your
parental obligation is to your children. After you have
raised them into responsible adults, your duties of child-
rearing and babysitting are finished. Let your children raise
their own off-spring

12. Accept physical weakness, sickness and other
physical pains. It is a part of the ageing process.
Enjoy whatever your health can allow

13. Enjoy who you are and what you have right now.
Stop working hard for what you do not have. If you
don't have them, it's probably too late.

14. Enjoy your life with your spouse, children,
grandchildren and friends. People, who truly love you,
love you for yourself, not for what you have. Anyone
who loves you for what you have will just give you
misery. And you'd probably know that by now.

15. Forgive and accept forgiveness. Forgive yourself
and others. Enjoy peace of mind and peace of
soul.

16. Not trying to be morbid, but befriend death. It's a
natural part of the life cycle. Don't be afraid of it.
Death is the beginning of a new and better life. So,
prepare yourself not for death but for a new life
with the Almighty God.

17. Go to places of worship and have a close
relationship with God, for He is the only one who
can take care of you when you die.

18. Have a nice day!!!
