Happy Monday. This week kicks off my birthday on Saturday. A LOT has changed in 5 years since I celebrated my last milestone birthday – primarily the passing of my Dad, Sister, and Brother and Mom’s illness. I still feel a sense of loss most days, but for the most part, I have adjusted to this new normal that seems totally crazy. And, I am thankful for another birthday!
One thing that hasn’t changed are the lessons I learned in 50 years. Nope, I am not creating a whole list of 55 more lessons, but I am adding 5 more things I have learned in almost 55 years.
LOL, it has been quite a ride to 55 and I keep learning and growing and being clear about what’s important. Some of it serious like being healthy – physically and mentally and some of it is just plain fun, like wearing white whenever I feel like it! I will see y’all in 5 years with 5 more things I have learned. What have you learned this year that is making a difference for you?
Happy Birthday Pretty!! Hope you enjoy the celebrations to the max. I have learned that “Time is of the Essence and we should do whatever gives us JOY in the moment”. Looking forward to so much more. . . .

55? OMG! I want to drink the water that you are drinking. You look so good! In case I miss it, Happy birthday doll!
I have learned not to let people change who I am.
