Ellen Degeneres has
something astute and funny to
say about the phrase “over the
hill” – a phrase I am sure many
of us who are Living Well 50
Plus have heard or even used.

“Why do they say we’re over the hill?” Degeneres
asks. “I don’t even know what that means and why it’s
a bad thing. When I go hiking and I get over the hill,
that means I’m past the hard part and there’s a snack
in my future.”
Isn’t it true? We’re past the hard part – finding
our purpose, raising our children, seeking our
security – and now we’re able to take things a little
easier. The “snacks” in our futures take myriad forms:
grandchildren, new love, opportunities to travel and
pursue hobbies and other ventures we may have put
off, including going back to school.
As we roll into the new year, be thankful that
you’re over the hill, and make sure you snatch up
some snacks on the way down!
Live life like you mean it!
