And then I Turned 50

Kathleen made this collage for me today.  I got the message loud and clear.  I'm 50.  Now what?

You know, though, the more I look at this collage the more I love it.  I think 50 is awesome and I am going to savor this positive frame of mind going forward.  I am going to enjoy today, learn from yesterday, and live for tomorrow.  I'm 50, and that's pretty great.

Thank you Kathleen for all the hard work you put into creating this banner and for making my birthday so special and fun.  I am truly proud to have you as my daughter, to have learned so many growing-up lessons with you and from you.  We sorta grew up together and took the tough shots along the road of life together too.  I am thrilled to have you home, to have you close to me, to have you in my life.  I look at you in amazement that you are my daughter - my 30 year old daughter at that!  We have a lot to learn from each other and a lot of life to share.  I am looking forward to helping you reach your goals each day and to make your dreams come true. 

I love you Kathleen.  Thank you for showing me how much you love me too.
