Its My Birthday!

Today is my birthday!

54 years old- I can't image that!

Don't think it is going to be a very eventful day-

other than having a birthday that is-

but I did go on my little adventure trip last week which was a very exciting birthday gift.

(Bought myself a couple of little trinkets on my travels too..which is also very exciting.)

And I might drive down to my favorite craft store after work today...see how I feel when that time arrives.

So many new supplies out I think it would be fun to see what some of them are.

(And maybe buy one or two to celebrate my big day.)

So what am I striving for in my 54th year? (not in any particular order)

1-Peace and joy and good health

2- Being able to Practice happiness 

3- Going...I want to take advantages of opportunities

4-and make opportunities

5-I want to learn new things

6-read a lot more

7-and try new creative endeavors

8-while following my heart

9-I want to look for shooting stars

10-and spend time with the people I love

11-I hope to be fearless when I am full of fear

12- And kind when I want to be angry

13-I want to work on speaking up for myself when I need to (because I'm not very good at that)

without being cruel or nasty or angry...practice diplomacy you could say

14-I want it to be a year of sweet adventures

15-and I would like grace to handle the not so sweet moments.

16- and being totally selfish-

I want a fantastic year!!!

 Not trying to be poetic here-

just reaching a point in my life where I am trying to reach a better place.

There are good things about getting older that I would have never guessed when I was 24 or 34.

I find this time of my life really rich and rewarding.

But enough of my babbling.

Thanks for stopping by.
