I'm an avid gardener, so I relate to the "perennial" term. I believe we are not the midlife women of any other generation - we're more actively involved in life than any other women of this age that has come before us. We know we're stronger than ever before, willing to try new things and become more interesting as we grow older. I turned 60 last January, and I feel more capable and happy with my life than ever before. Thank you for posting this - go perennial-women!Melody Smith https://www.blogger.com/profile/06992939822081379315noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4722898771124083282.post-54219124729000468842017-07-17T14:42:43.963+08:002017-07-17T14:42:43.963+08:00We certainly are perennials Leanne and I love that...We certainly are perennials Leanne and I love that term. I truly believe that most women of midlife are actually starting to believe in themselves and enjoying this fabulous time of life.
