Finally, I've found the confidence to write an entry on this blog. This is a small slice of my life and I think the best way to start is, "why 48.3?" When I turned 50, I was fine with it. There was enough stuff going on in my life that turning 50 was no big deal. But turning 51, boy oh boy, that really bothered me. I felt like such a loser - I had finally settled in to my "new" life of a divorced woman that relocated to a small town and I was really not that happy. So, I thought what age would NOT be a loser??? And I realized - starting over was an adventure - and I came up with 48. (I need to be a bit realistic, because yes, I knew 33 sounded much better, but come, on I was 51!) So, any way, if you add 3 to 48 it equals 51 - thus 48.3. Like updated software - the old one, only better.
Just a mind game to help me get along with a life that was ordinary, and ready to change!
