My 50th Birthday

I have not really been feeling all that well lately.. I think it has been a combo of things. My headaches have returned and work is slow, so the money is tight, my 50th was coming up and I thought that it was going to be a really cool age but as the AARP cards started arriving I decided maybe not.. I was feeling every ache and pain. Everything started to pile up and I went into my own little pity party..

Well my birthday got here and I decided to take the day off and have a me day. I went and had my hair done since the racing stripe down the middle did not help my feeling any better about myself. Then I talked to Ashley we met up went and had pedicures, lunch, and did a little shopping. It turned out to be a really nice day. That evening Peter took me out for a nice dinner. The next morning, we woke up and he took me to San Diego Zoo yes thats right the Zoo. Neither of us has been there since we were in elementary school and we had a great time. We got home and as I walked in the door much to my SURPRISE my Hubby and kids planned a birthday party for me. They knew that I was in such a funk and totally pulled it off :)

Ok so my lesson learned...What do I really have to complain about??? I am totally blessed!!! I have a God who Loves me!! A family who adores me, Grandchildren who are the cutest :) family and friends who are always there and I can count on to call anytime!! It is time to stop focusing on me and start looking at giving Thanks to a Loving Father, Husband, Children, Grandchildren, and Friends...

"If you have any encouragement from being united with Christ, if any comfort from his love, if any fellowship with the Spirit, if any tenderness and compassion, then make my joy complete by being like-minded, having the same love, being one in spirit and purpose. Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit, but in humility consider others better than yourselves. Each of you should look not only to your own interests, but also to the interests of others." Philippians 2:1-4
