Happy birthday to me!! Yep let’s just throw it out there...
I’m turning 60 on Monday!!! Yikes!! What?? How did that happen?? Be assured, all of those sentiments have crossed my mind. But it IS true...and I’m actually ok with it. Ten years ago...not so much. Ask my friends and family. I turned 50 kicking and screaming. A few tears...a couple of meltdowns and all and all just a lot of resistance. But fast forward 10 years and here I am about to turn 60 and realizing that the last 10 years have been great!! In fact, I would go as far as to say my 50’s have been my favorite decade yet!! Lots of quality time with friends and family...opportunities to travel and visit new places...and the gift of continuing to grow and be immersed in a business that I love!! Not too shabby...right??? So why fret over turning 60 when life is so full and who knows maybe the best is yet to come??
Don’t get me wrong...it’s not like there aren’t days when I still say...Yikes?? What?? How did this happen?? But when I do, I remind myself of the lyrics to a song I recently discovered by Rob Thomas entitled “Dying Young”. It goes like this “I’m not afraid of getting older...I’m one less day from dying young!!!” Listening to this song reminds me that every day is a gift and to be grateful for each and every day that we get to live!!
So there you have it...I GET to turn 60 on Monday and I would love for any of you who want to stop by to celebrate with me. Just a little happy hour at BL from 530-8 pm. Cheers to life!!
