Well as of yesterday it's official I hit the half century mark. I had mixed feelings on it....reviewed my life, wondered what I had accomplished in all that time, decided it wasn't to much I guess not anymore than any others have done, decided it's only a number, decided I am permanently 48 and then really thought about what should I do with the next 50...it will be an adventure for sure.
This has been a tulmulutuos year for me many highs and many lows, but all of it has been exactly how life is to unfold and I am grateful for that and the amount of growth I have made.

Flower, Flower, Flower!!!!!!!!!!!!! Happy Birthday to you!!!!!!! Happy 50th Birthday!!!!!!!! I wish I wasn't such a techno stupido, or I'd put something fun here for you as you did for me. Please accept my happiest greetings on what marks a very special year for you. I'm glad you're here. I'm glad you are a part of this family. I'm also glad that by now, both you and your granddaughter know all the words to the songs in Frozen. Many, many hugs and may this year be the best year of your young and yet very seasoned life.
Catherine, you can copy the link from your browser. Then there is a little link icon in the posting area when you switch to Advanced Editor. look hard I can never find it myself but its there, looks like a link of a chain.
Copy the link into both the addresses on the dialog box, and that should do it.
Sometimes the link is grayed out, I don't know why, so I can't help you if it is, sorry.
Flower, I have come to the conclusion that the older we get, the more we become the winners in life just for having endured and gained wisdom through life experience. "Winning! " <--said like Charlie Sheen, but in a sober and spiritually fit way **snicker**
Besides Liam Neeson is well over 50 and he's perfect.
Happy, happy birthday Flower!!! I can tell you that I had the same dread when I approached 50. I decided that I needed some sort of coping strategy. After much thought, I decided to do 50 new things in my year of 50. Yes, that's almost one new thing a week. I'm certain that one new thing a year would have also sufficed, however, I kept my "list of 50" handy for qualifying events that could honestly count as something new. So many, many wonderful things happened that year and my 50th year was full of enrichment and personal growth. So as 51 approached, I decided to employ the same strategy. Now it's not so much about my age as what I can look forward to. I may not be able to sustain the number of new things as the number of my age, but it's more to the point for me to be happy, healthy, and to grow.... and that sort of sounds like a youthful thing when I think about it!
I am 48. I have been dwelling on fact that I will be 50 in less than 2 yrs. But it still will only happen one day at a time. And today I am in a lot of pain like I am much older.But on the bright side; I am a fantabulous 48 yr. old! Happy birthday! Hoot Nanny
(((( hugs ))))
