50

Today is my 50th birthday. I am not sure how I feel about this. I mean I love birthdays, but I wasn't happy about receiving an invitation to join AARP. I am officially a Golden Girl. I somehow don't feel like I am old enough to be 50. Does that make sense? It's just a number, right? So bring on the birthday cake! I think I can handle 50 candles.

I've been thinking about some of the things I would like to do or accomplish during the next year, so I thought I would see if I come up with 50 things. Here it goes.

Walk everyday for exercise.
Be positive.
Find a job I love.
Spend lots of time with my family.
Be a better cook.
Figure out how to bake the perfect brownie.
Be more loving.
Paint.
Plant hydrangea bushes.
Drink more water.
Take more road trips.
Learn yoga.
Stop procrastinating.
Be grateful.
Make a difference in people's lives.
Live in the moment.
Do something creative everyday.
Take a dance class.
Master Photoshop.
Take more photos.
Give more hugs.
Live in the moment.
Decorate the house for every holiday.


Make every day a special day.
I think if I can just do this each day, I will be a happy girl.
