Thoughts on reaching 50

My sister reached a milestone. Well actually three of them already did. Reaching their golden age. Half a century. Fifty times around the sun. Wow.

As cliche as it sounds, time flies really fast. I still remember them being college students, in our house doing household chores, studying and single! It seems like only yesterday.  And a couple of decades more or so and I would reach that threshold also.

And to think so few humans now reach a century mark! (According to the a recent UN report, Filipinos have an average dying age of 71.7 years), so that means 20 or so years left of stay in this plane of existence. And after that, gone. Bye bye. Oblivion! hehe..

Make the most of time we have right NOW. As author Gretchen Rubin says, "the years are long but the days are short!"
