My Thoughts on turning 50.........Many moments of thinking have go into this day. The anticipation has been kind of a mind game with me these past couple weeks, one thing for certain, I knew there would be no big surprise 50th for this old girl, I set that in motion months ago. Im not much for any kind of surprise so I knew from paste siblings turning 50 what would be!!!! Ive twirled over in my mind several times this 50 number and nothing seems to happen! I look in the mirror and quite honestly looking back at me is someone who has never looked or felt better. Two years ago when I was diagnosed with cancer I remember thinking omg!! Im only 48!!! Now when I think of it I think wow Im 50! I have lived a 1/2 century and Im so very blessed. 50 yrs of life on earth packed chuck full of memories, mistakes, achievements, failures ups and downs of the good and the bad. 50 yrs ago I was put on this earth with a Purpose, a purpose to live, love and laugh I also believe each of us were put here to make a difference which I would like to think I have. Today I will celebrate the years I have had here on earth and prepare for the years to come, I as most have no idea if I will be given another 50 yrs for Im not the keeper of the key, so I will turn it up alittle from this day on, I will live, love and laugh a little more often, When I fall, I will get up a little quicker take note of what caused me to fall make changes and move on, I will practice better judge of character with those I allow in my life, I will forgive and forget a little quicker and be content with the love and happiness I receive from those who enrich my daily living, I myself will be a better family member and friend to those same people who give of themselves so willingly to me. I will not wait to celebrate another year of life til next September, I will celebrate my life everyday for the next 365 days, possibly by lighting myself a candle each day and blowing it out with a wish upon a star?? I will attempt to check one of my big ticket items off my bucket list within this next year of life, instead of dreaming about it happening I will make it happen. I will remind myself everyday Life is not an emergency and I will stop along the way and smell the roses!!! I need no party, I need no gifts all I need is a day like this!!! Happy Birthday to me~Lou!!!
