I can't believe it... but I will be 50 years old next week. There will be a party to celebrate my half a century on this Earth. It's been an interesting ride so far. I have a lot to be thankful for.. and some things that I wish had never happened. But.. even those painful unfortunate events in my life have taught me some valuable lessons, so I guess I have to be thankful for them too.
One thing I'm so glad I did in my life was to have children. I love being a mom... and all that comes with that. My son, Vince is planning my party. He's excited to be able to do this for me and I can't believe he's old enough to take this on. He's enlisted the help of my sisters and mother, which was smart on his part.. since they will be the ones to supply the guest list. The guest list isn't long. I don't have a myriad of friends in my life, but the ones I do have are dear.. They will be here with me to celebrate as well as my family.
So.. here's to the last 50 years.. and here's to the next 50???? ok.. maybe 40 0r 30.. but whatever it is, I'm going to enjoy it.... take my bumps along the way and strive to be the kind of person that I want to be... one that helps others... works hard... and appreciates all she has in this world.
Happy Birthday to me.... :)
