Birthday's After 50 A Celebration Of Life

I have been saying all week I will be 35 tomorrow! Of course everyone knows it's just a play of numbers! Tomorrow I will be 53....

It's an interesting subject since I never cared for birthday's until I turned 50! After that it was how many more will there be.My dad diedd at an early age , 42 I believe and I always thought I would somehow end up going around that time. As a child I never imagined reaching 50, rarely do children think that far.

But here I am the evening of my 53 year on planet earth! Some religions don't celebrate birthday's for various reasons. I think everyone has a right to celebrate what they want, religion should not dictate that. However that is for another blog!

I sit here alone and on the evening of evry year before I turn to a new number, in this case 53 or as I say 35 :-), I think of what I have accomplished  and I celebrate. I don;t think of what I am preently dealing with but what I have acomplished in the last year, decade and life!

After 50 we don't celebrate our age for being 50+ is nothing to celebrate. No-one wants to get older but we all welcome the wisdom most of us gain! We all wish we could be 20 with the 50 YO wisdom!

This past year I have tried to help a number of people while trying to assist my sick family and watch over myself! I have this wonderfull man that is besides me every minute of the day and night! It's an amazing feeling very hard to explain!

In the last decade I have dealt with who I am and met this wonderful man! We have traveled to the west and back to the east. We in addition traveled south and moved a dozen times!

In my lifetime I had a wonderful woman and two great children and the creator blessed me with a grandson and son-inlaw and daughter-in-law (in my eyes).

Tonight as tradition  says we do a midnight celebration not to what we lost, not to what alles us, not to what is wrong with the world but to the 53 years I have been here and the good I have done to everyone I touched!

Salute to my 53!
