AARP? Really?

Today in the mail I received my invite to the AARP.
Really?
Can I be so old already?

I know I turn 50 this year, but I have 6 months left of my 40's.
It isn't that I am scared to reach 50 years of age, half a century of life.
It is that I wonder how 50 years has passed so quickly.
Where did the time go?
Where did my life go?
What happened to all the things my 8 year old mind thought I would have done by now?

And how do I begin to accomplish some of those things now?
How much time do I have?
If 50 years has come and gone in a blink of an eye,
how fast will the next 50 years come and go?
What if I am not fortunate enough to live another 50 years?
What if I am not healthy enough to live to 100.

Perhaps I should start watching what I eat more, exercise more, drink less, stress less.

Oh wait, can I stress less and drink less at the same time?

Oh so many questions from simply opening the mail.
