Today was a milestone birthday for me.  I turned 50…It felt perfectly awesome and it didn’t bother me a bit…I don’t really recall any of the previous milestone birthdays bothering me either..except maybe 30?  .. I enjoyed a nice evening of celebration with my very wonderful family; as I sat there watching them all laughing and joking, I felt tremendously blessed…Years from now, I may not remember exactly what gifts I received (except for the wonderful and very special hand-made cards from my niece and grandsons..); but I will remember the joy of knowing that I have a family that loves me.. and that is truly an awesome gift that the Lord has given me…
