The other side of the hill acknowledges that life is full of changes. But just because one aspect in life
has changed that is not a signal to stop living. Life should always be lived to its fullest. Do not let age,
sex, location, etc. stop you from enjoying all that life has to offer.

What and Where is the other side of the hill

Welcome to the other side of the hill, a place where I hope you find life's pace a little slower and more enjoyable.  Everyone ends up here sooner or later.  It might be after your 40th birthday or your 50th.  It all depends on how you look at the passage of time. 
     Being on the other side of the hill is not always the downer it has been portrayed, it does have its advantages.  One - the need to prove oneself to one's family or peers has faded.  At this point in our lives we are where we are, so be it.  If I want to push to be the CEO of a company, change careers, or go back to school the decision is mine and not based on society's expectations.  
     Another benefit is I can wear whatever pleases me - the softer and plushier the better. Fashion trends can be ignored and my toe crushing high heels can be donated to Big Brother/Big Sister.  Ignoring fashion's mandates can give a person a wonderful feeling of being set free.  If you doubt it just ask a Red Hat lady. 
      Over time I hope to talk about and post links on subjects that may be important to othersiders; medicine, nutrition, exercise, aging parents, aging spouse, career changes, etc. Since I am working full time and working towards a Bachelor's in communication at Ashford University's online school I doubt I will be posting new messages more than once a week, but please stop by and add your two cents.  Think of this blog as a place you can sit back, chill out and share your other side of the hill knowledge and experiences.

    I like your blog. I am glad that you are comfortable being over the hill. I will get to that point I am sure but I know that eventually I will have a mid-life crisis. Actually I think I am having one right now even though I am not even 30 yet. Your perspective can give me some insight on how to avoid it. But I will probaly buy some fancy car to get over my mid life crisis.

    Vindardo thanks for stopping by and feel free to stop by again anytime. Age does not matter and that is a big part of this blog, finding & pursuing life's dreams regardless of age is what is important.

    First, I love the title of your blog. It seems to encompass your vision of your life at this point with a little sarcasm and wit. I really enjoyed reading about how you are not into fashion trends and enjoy being comfortable. There is something so freeing about hearing women who refuse to conform to fashion and dieting trends. I think the layout of your design is great and very easy for the reader to keep up with. You’re also a great writer as well. I look forward to keeping up with your blog if you decide to continue.
