Whooohooo birthday bash! Here I am celebrating with my life long gal pals in Ojai-they spoiled and pampered me with spa treatments, fabulous food ( check out the peanut butter/chocolate birthday torte - sumptuous!!) and loving friendship (the best gift of all!).
I thought I would be depressed about turning the big "5-0" but nothing could be further from the truth....I woke up feeling zippy, happy and blessed to be alive - to have lived to see 50...what fabulous experiences I've had thus far. I can't wait to see what this new chapter and decade will bring...such a privilege to be on this planet!!
Feeling this way helped me get it - see the truth...life...a good life...is purely about perspective and attitude - looking at life as a gift puts the spring in your step and the sparkle in your eye, ALL day, EVERY day!
My five favorite birthday gifts:
1) Gratitude- give thanks for everything in life, all experiences (good and bad - how else do you grow??)
2) Love - Family, friends and Self... nothing trumps this connection.
3) Health - a positive mind and outlook keep the body feeling fantastic!
4) Adventure - makes you feel ALIVE!
5) Grace - the beauty and blessings of life!
50 does feel like the new 30 - nothing like a birthday to make you live life to the fullest with total appreciation - Yes!!!
