Isn't that funny, the long awaited 1/2 century birthday has come and gone and I don't feel any different. Those bad, bad girls of mine and my sister planned a surprise party for me, funded by my husband!! I was mad cause I didn't have a clue. The funny thing about an embarrassing party like that is - you get all your friends together and love having them there. Why don't we do that more for no reason??? Anyway, I took a week off work that I thoroughly enjoyed and worked on projects as I felt like it.
I realize how tremendously blessed my life is. I hope I don't take that for granted. Now there is always room for improvement in my relationships and attitude.....so a never ending project in the process, but my life has been fabulous and fantastic in lots of ways.
The day of my birthday, Ryan and David took me to Chili's in East Peoria. We had a great meal but we also were together and had great conversation. Then, little did I know, my "good" friends :) the McFees set up a fake mission committee meeting to get me to the church at 3:15 on Sunday afternoon and it worked. When David and I pulled into the parking lot and all those cars were there, including my girls' cars, I knew I was doomed. They did it, they actually pulled it off.
So, the day after my birthday, I colored my hair, auburn, with lots of "red" tints. I like it and it felt good making that change. There are lots of other changes I want to make and will work on those slowly and thoughtfully.
I honestly can't believe I have turned 50, where have the years gone and how quickly the next 50 will come and go. Scary. Hopefully, home to heaven sooner than later.
Still pondering this life of ours.......Kim
