As I come up on my 50th birthday tomorrow I have done a lot of reflecting. At first I was typically depressed, but then I went back through pictures of my life since I was in my 20s. I can see what the stress levels had done to me when I was younger through my 20 and 30s. The massive personal and health issues were overwhelming to say the least. I was so stressed about how I was going to be able to continue to raise my five kids that it was taking a toll on my life. Then just before I turned 40 I decided to live my life totally different. Carefree, taking better care of myself, taking risks and just enjoying every moment. Putting my future in the hands of the guy upstairs and just having faith all would turn out OK. My 40s were an amazing ride. The best adventures so far. But now with my kids grown and out in the world I am really looking forward to this next season in my life. I hope that you who call yourselves my friends will take the time to meet up in the near future and raise a glass with me ( even if its just iced tea lol ). Life is GOOD - celebrate it with me : ) Fair warning, the pictures may just shock some of you - They are from 1) early 20s 2) early 30s and 3) late 30s ( yes that is me on the far right ) 4) this last week - it shows how I feel now - at peace and ready to just take in whatever lies ahead. BRING ON THOSE FIFTIES - I have so much I want to accomplish!
