Margaret is fifty this year

To view the video you will need REALPLAYER

FIFTY
By Margaret Rose
Margaret is fifty this year. She finds it a reflective age - you could be halfway through your life, or more than halfway through. You have to slow down and find a quiet time to enjoy the moment. Time has an elastic quality - the good things fly by at the speed of light, and the boring things stretch out interminably. However, the things that are important, such as love and companionship, stay with you. Where has all that time gone? She still doesn't know what she wants to do when she grows up...

Your thoughts about this video

Greville
I loved that "sting in the tale"! I'm in my fifties, but still feel as I did at 25. A beautiful piece - I'm glad I found it.

Darren
I'm reflecting already. I'm only thirty next year and I'm starting to think about my health, my children, my old age and even my passing....in twenty years time I hope I'm in a position to be as wise as Margaret.

Gerardo (USA)
I'm 33 years old and have found your video enriching. Many thanks.
