50th Birthday - Is It The Birthday For The Blues, or Not?
Turning fifty can be hard on anyone.
And let's face it, some people even have problems when they turn thirty, though much to my surprise, I didn't seem to have issues with it.
As the saying goes; 'life happens' and whilst it may have been relatively rare just 100 years ago - Now, reaching their 50th birthday for some is only slightly more than 'half way' - certainly many people see it as a new beginning, and some even make the move towards starting a home based business which can be particularly rewarding as retirement looms ever closer We worry that the best years of life are behind us, but I soon learnt that they just keep getting better.
Although We live in a world where youth seems to be king, many of us will quickly find out life just goes on, and usually while things do change, overall they seem to get better and better.
However, that doesn't always make the 50th birthday something easy to handle.
If you know someone who is about to celebrate - or try to ignore - their 50th birthday, why not do something special and surprise them.
This is always a really great idea for friends and family, and most especially for your parents.
Some will become gloomy and see the 50th birthday as a sign that the end is coming, but these days that's not the case.
When planning something special like this, it's sometimes a good idea to concentrate on what they've done and achieved in the past, as most do, but also make sure that you (and they) are looking ahead to what they have yet to do.
Treat it as a new beginning! Don't dwell too much on the past when you're planning for a 50th birthday party.
You can always reflect on what has happened so far, and most people will love that, but also you should make sure you focus on the future.
It's a fact that so many are going back to school later and later in life, and have found that new careers, and particularly home based business opportunities, don't have to start in your twenties.
These days, You can do anything you want at any age, within reason of course, and having a 50th birthday often means that the days of starting anew with excitement have only just begun.
Putting a positive spin on the future is one of the best gifts you can give anyone, and this is definitely no exception - and what better gift than a new source of income from a work at home business.
If they want to make plans for their future, this way that future will be affordable When you're looking for ideas for a 50th birthday surprise, do take time out to see what is available.
You can go with the standard 'over-the-hill' type of theme, but to be honest; that really has been done to death, and is often quite depressing.
Particularly if they are young at heart and see their 50th birthday as a new beginning rather than the beginning of the end.
Some handle it ok, but there really is no need to remind them that maybe their best years are behind them - trust me; they're not! Instead, and this would be my preference...
find fun ways to honor the person who is coming upon the 50th birthday by focusing on the future, not the years that have past.
And then, when it's your turn, You can hope someone does the same for you when you finally hit that 50th birthday milestone.
