I'm fifty

I turned fifty December 13th and part of me was amazed by that, truly amazed. I love knowing I hit fifty, I went and got my silver hair dyed a blinding red and yes I love it. I went to my monthly nail appointment and had Ann do them in bright red.

I am fifty and proud of it, never will I lie about my age, because each year I live is another year with the people I love, another year to sing, knit, crochet, learn new things, meet new people.

Another year to watch my beloved nieces and nephews raise their own families, even as I remember them as babies and toddlers.

Another year with Shay which means love, comfort and another person who understands me.

And another year with my BFF Aazari, another year of craziness that is unique to the two of us. Anyone who knows us knows what I'm talking about. *Cackles*

And another year to gaze at the universe with wide eyed wonder.
