Welcome to the half century mark Alexis! I have a tough time believing I am 50 today. I remember when my Mom turned 50! Most people seem to struggle with 50 because it is a mark of being older but for me, I celebrate 50. I think it is because 11 years ago, I was told my life would be shorter than I had planned. I honestly didn't think I would make it to 45! But I did and with some flare even! Ever since 45, I've marked every year with significant appreciation for each year I survive. I think this year is appreciated since I just finished another series of cancer treatments.
I've been celebrating in style. I went out to Melting Pot with Mom and Philip on Saturday, Dad and Cindy on Sunday. Last night, Philip and I celebrated together with dinner at Benihana. On Saturday, my friends are throwing a big party for me. Funny enough, my actual birthday has turned into a "me" day. I have a very full day of work and then I get to do whatever I want. We will see what I cook up.
Here is one of my favorite things from this year's celebration.
