Be Happy

Welcome to an amazing year! Yes, we are in the worst recession since the great Depression. Yes, there are massive lay offs with every breath we exhale. Yes, there is mostly bad news smeared all over the newspapers, television screens, lap top screens and people's minds. There are also many little life rituals that should be embraced and celebrated with bunches of laughter!
I am turning 50 this year.
Gulp!
I had better say it again.
I am turning 50 this year and back in 1959 it seemed like a great idea to be born. Thanks Mom and Dad! This year in 2009, I am wondering if my mother could have held it together for another eight months so I could have been born in 1960!
C'est la vie! I am celebrating every moment of my 50th year and one of my dreams is to inspire, humor and touch everyone in some small way during the course of the adventure.
Get ready, it's going to be a lovely bumpy ride!

  1. It sounds like your embracing this "coming of age" attitude very well. I feel very strongly that an attitude of well being is more important than a number anyways. What is 50? 50 can be the new 40 for some. 50 will not dictate how I am supposed to feel that's for certain!
    Exercise, eat in moderation and have minimal stress and we can live to be 100!! Sounds good on this post but can we do it??
    Keep being inspirational so you can motivate me when I am just about to turn the big 50! I am 2 years behind you, thank the Lord!

  3. My 48th year wish is for the well being of my children and husband. I hope 2009 brings my family hope, motivation and unity.
    For me personally, I wish spiritual growth, more adventures and travel with my partner, patience with life, and to show my affection more openly. I will blow my wishes to the wind and maybe all of them will come true!
