A note from a college friend brought a ray of light to my day.
I completely get your apprehension about turning 50. For me it came
with a recognition that I’m no longer YOUNG. That was no surprise, but
somehow shocking nonetheless.But flip side is: We are no longer YOUNG. We have accumlulated
experience, history, friends, children and spouses. We’ve made choices
and have lives — full and engaging lives, (although life may not
always seem so great when life deals a bad hand). If we continue to
embrace our lives, (the good and the bad) with mettle and passion we
will not get any YOUNGER, but we will enjoy getting older and maybe
even a bit wiser.Hope you have a great birthday and many more.
Happy Birthday! I too am turning 50 this year (me, you, Madonna, and Michael Jackson, among others). No, we’re not young anymore and that’s a little shocking, but hopefully there are still good things to come.
Happy Birthday!
The weather’s fine up here in second-half-century land; you will rock here. Have a great B-day!!
Happy birthday!
All right, Louise! You made it to the big five-oh! See, it wasn’t so bad, was it?
All the best,
Rob
See, you did it ? That wasn’t so hard now, was it ? Happy Birthday ! Have a wonderful day.
Happy birthday!!! In one birthday, we can find the joy of all our birthdays, if we’re not too caught up in the tyranny of the calender. It’s the birth that matters!
Hi Louise!
You have ‘done’ so much and have such amazing spirit.
You’ll make Fifty whatever you want it to BE!
Best wishes & have a GREAT BIRTHday!
