FROM THE<br />
EDITOR<br />
Dear Friends,<br />
Ellen Degeneres has<br />
something astute and funny to<br />
say about the phrase “over the<br />
hill” <strong>–</strong> a phrase I am sure many<br />
of us who are <strong>Living</strong> <strong>Well</strong> 50<br />
Plus have heard or even used.<br />
Tanya Tyler • tanya@samplerpublications.com<br />
“Why do they say we’re over the hill?” Degeneres<br />
asks. “I don’t even know what that means and why it’s<br />
a bad thing. When I go hiking and I get over the hill,<br />
that means I’m past the hard part and there’s a snack<br />
in my future.”<br />
Isn’t it true? We’re past the hard part <strong>–</strong> finding<br />
our purpose, raising our children, seeking our<br />
security <strong>–</strong> and now we’re able to take things a little<br />
easier. The “snacks” in our futures take myriad forms:<br />
grandchildren, new love, opportunities to travel and<br />
pursue hobbies and other ventures we may have put<br />
off, including going back to school.<br />
As we roll into the new year, be thankful that<br />
you’re over the hill, and make sure you snatch up<br />
some snacks on the way down!<br />
Live life like you mean it!<br />
