With one day left, a nice note from a friend sustains me:

Breathe Deeply. Just thinking of you and hoping that you have a wonderful day tomorrow. All the things that you are, that you mean to your friends, the good you’ve
done, and all that you will continue to become for a very long time are so
much more than a number.

As does this message from my cousin:

oh lou,
fifty is total grown up girl power and beauty – if you liked your forties,
you’ll love yr fifties, I promise.
