From my perch on the bow, from the seats in the stern, with my legs dangling over the side in calm waters...I look out at the sea, and my mind thinks some funky thoughts. ...
I’ve got a prize winning black and blue mark on the underside of my left forearm, a pinky swollen from being pulled out to the side in a very unnatural position, and every muscle in my body hurts....
The only way to look at insomnia at midlife is as a gift- an early start to the day where you can have some alone time and really kick ass and get things done....
In order not to appear like the most shallow human being on earth, I was certainly not going to answer this one without putting in a least one minute of thought......
After 28 years of practicing real estate law, Ronna Benjamin realized how much she loved writing and how much she hated lawyering. She jumped into the world of writing at Better After 50 and never looked back! She is loving her “second act” as Partner and Managing Editor at Better After 50. Ronna writes humorously about the things BA50s are concerned about – personal experiences with adult children, the quirks of aging parents and in-laws, and her own emotional and physical health issues (i.e., insomnia, anxiety, and bulging waist lines). A native Bostonian who loves to spend time with her husband and three adult children, Ronna also enjoys sailing, cooking, running, and biking–and she tolerates skiing so she is not left home during family vacations. Check out her new book “We Are Better After 50 Because…” co-written by Ronna and her BA50 Partner Felice Shapiro, a perfect gift for the birthday girl in her 50’s!
