Milestones

So I turned 50 yesterday. I thought about what I want to do with the next 10 years of my life. I want to work further on rural water management and livelihood projects. I have set a target for myself of 1000 projects; big and small. Have done maybe 50 so far. Have a long way to go and much to learn.

Seeking blessings from all elders here and strength from friends. Inspired by many women who are decades my senior and continue to do good work.

So in case you want to know what I did for my big 50, I went for a drive with husband; spent time at two adivasi villages to review water structures and plan for the dry season. Visited parents to seek blessings. Husband bought me new jewelery to celebrate. A good day :)

Happy birthday and lots of success. I can just about remember my 50th, because we taped all the speeches and took lots of photos. This is very important, since my beloved parents, aunts and uncles have since passed away.

Have a great decade. This period from 50/60 is spectacular. The years after 60 are when you experience the blessings of what you did in this decade.
