I'll give you a hint. Her five favorite people took her out to lunch -- at a kid-friendly restaurant, of course.
The kids wanted to see who could keep a lemon in his or her mouth the longest.
One. . . two. . . three. . .Go!
The kids were serious about the challenge.
All the kids.
I let them all know I was skipping the "pinch to grow an inch" this year. I can tell that "50" has a way of adding enough inches on its own.
"50" is not the "new 30" or even the "new 40." "50" is well, just "50," and I'm going to make myself keep saying that number out loud until I get used to it.
But for me, "50" is good, really good.
Thanking God for His goodness in my life through the years! Celebrating today!
Many, many thanks for your life and all it has meant to mine! Happy Birthday!
ReplyDeleteThankful for you, too! Loved seeing your family recently.
DeleteHappy Birthday, Dana. You may be 50 but you look a fabulous 30 something!
ReplyDeleteI have a talented hairdresser and a friend who's a gifted photographer and I think I better be really nice to both of them!
DeleteI loved how you celebrated and embraced 50...I have 4 months to go...and maybe by then I will be as grown up as you about it!
ReplyDeleteOh my, "embraced" might be pushing it. "Had to face the cold hard truth" is more like it! But seriously, I'm looking forward to what this decade of life has in store for me.
