Fabulous Fifties


Jenny Matlock


Saturday Centus time.  I'm kind of really liking the assignment  Jenny is having a Tangent About.

As all fine teachers go, they give us a subject that really makes us think.  She thought she could stiffle my creative flow this week, but oh, she was wrong.

The assignment this week is to write an autobiography about ourselves.  
But, and it's a huge ole but

WE  CAN  ONLY  USE  6 WORDS. 

You read that right.

6 whole words.

Yikes.

My 50's.  Oh what a change!

    Things started getting really good in my 40s, but once I hit my 50s I really got dangerous. Yep. The years of taking any crap from anyone got kicked to the curb big time. Good times!

    Well, yes... there is that aspect of life...

    No matter how you write this, with only six words, you are going to have to leave a lot out.

    I'm sure your life has much more content than just this.

    Anyway. Thank you so much for visitng my SC-post.

    Best wishes,
    Anna

    It's a good change, right? I sure hope so. Nicely done. I feel your mixed emotion about the fifth decade.
