Fiftiness in Conversation: Waking An Optimist
Thank you to the women of Fiftiness – my early R&D group for letting me facilitate and record them in a conversation about being over 50! In this video I asked whether you wake an optimist or a pessimist. I had been walking in the mornings to Rihanna’s song FourFiveSeconds. The lyrics, “woke up an optimist/sun was shinin’, I’m positive” made me think about mornings when I wake up far from positive. I wondered if I was alone in that and if it had to do with the physical and/or emotional changes after 50.
Watch and join the conversation. Comment below – do you wake up an optimist or a pessimist? What happens during the day?

I would love to do the Urban Hikes!
