Approaching geezerdom myself, when I first saw those one liners I thought it meant that things were going to get better when you hit 50!
And I think there is some reason to believe it will. At least for women. The hormones settle down. There are rumours of postmenopausal zest. And wise crones and time to yourself. New beginnings. Fewer pressures. Less competition. Autumn was always my favorite season. So I'm going to hang on to my hopeful illusions.I don't think I could set a deadline and then just stick to it. Much too logical and dispassionate and I think suicidal feelings are illogical and passionate at least the acute ones. At times like that it's hard to imagine morning coming much less a new decade.
