I am a 49 year old wife, mother, registered nurse and avid runner living in New York. I have been happily married for many years to my first husband, the love of my life. We have two beautiful daughters who have grown up to be amazing women. I graduated traditionally with a degree in Health and Human Services and worked as a Social Worker until 8 years ago when I went back to school to become a nurse. I have the best job (and the best coworkers) in the world as a medical rehab nurse helping people recover from strokes, brain injuries and orthopedic surgeries. My hobbies include traveling, running, cycling, knitting and meeting interesting people. I started a blog: fiftyfightinggravity. com to vent about the good and the bad of turning 50. Hoping to age gracefully, glamourously and adventurously!
