What can I say about myself that is interesting to someone else. Hmmmm..... I am a mother, first and foremost and my kids are very important to me. Also, even though this was hard to admit, I am a Grandma. Love them soooo much. I am also a girl friend. I have someone in my life who loves me. It's a wonderful feeling. Also, I have a great job. I am not going to reveal how many years I have worked at my job in the travel business but it is over a quarter of a century. Yikes!!! Anyway, thanks for visiting me. I will try to update and keep my blog interesting so you can keep up with me and my life.

Today is my 49th Birthday

Boy that was hard to say.  I have been lying about my age for so long I actually had to do the math to see how old I really am.

You are wondering why I lie about my age.  I'm scared I guess.  Scared to turn 50.  I just remember all my life that 50 just seemed so old.  I always thought when a person turned 50 their fun and exciting life was over.  I thought it was time to get the rocking chair out and stop coloring over the gray hair.

So today I had to face that in one year I will turn 50.  My thoughts are changing about turning 50.  My thoughts are now that I would love for this next year to be the year I plan for turning 50.  Wouldn't it be awesome if on my birthday, a year from today, that I feel good about myself.  It would be so cool to turn 50 and be ready to face the rest of my life as a confident and self assured 50 yr old.  I would love it when I turn 50 that "I" am my first priority.   I am on my way to feeling these things.   Baby steps I guess.
