47 in 47 - Why?

Why am I doing this? Good question.

I'm doing this for Teenage Me. 

Teenage Me had goals and dreams. She thought this age would look different, feel different. She thought this age would be different. Honestly, until recently, I held those thoughts and dreams, too. And because I didn't/couldn't make them come true, Adult Me failed her.

With '47 in 47' I'm going to show Teenage Me we didn't fail. We succeeded! And, we're okay.

In less than 50 days...

In less than 50 days, I will be 47 years old. For the first time since entering my 40s, I am not caught in a downward spiral of depression. But, I teeter on the edge and fight not to fall. To keep me from falling, I've decided to celebrate ME with a "47 in 47" countdown - sharing stories, answering questions, posting stuff about me. The bragging and over-sharing starts Friday :)
