Reflecting on my 50 years on this earth as I attempt to stay awake for the eclipse.
A few things I have learned.
I am a really really bad singer!! – There is video – there was alcohol involved and it was a total lip syncing jam!!! Thanks ladies!!!
My children are thus far my greatest achievement in life. For real and for true!!!
Dreams – they really do come true!! I would not be sitting here writing about farm life if they had not – right?? right?
I really want a dog – end of story.
My family- they are nuts!!!
You can never have enough food when prepping for a family gathering – so says my over stuffed fridge.
Never mix red wine and white wine – at least not the swill of white wine I purchase. I learned that the hard way – Hair of the dog anyone??? get it dog?? I want a dog. I think I said that.
Hay gets every where and when you think you have cleaned it all up – there it is again!! Also cat hair.
Sitting here – wondering what the next chapter in my life will bring and thinking that it simply cannot get better.
I have two incredible children and an amazing man in my life. My family though nuts – makes me smile every day. My friends are by far the best friends I could even wish/want/have or dream of. All my in laws – outlaws and everything in between are a wonder and a delight. I have a beautiful – yet mismatched decorated home – I have my critters – I have my health – MINUS the wine – I have everything I have ever dreamed of and/or wanted in my life.
These past 50 years have not been perfect at times – but the end result – this time – this EXACT time – fills my heart with love.
So – while not trying to be too narcissistic – Happy Birthday to me!!
More importantly – thank you to you – all of you – every last one of you – thank you for being your fabulous selves!
