One half Century Plus One Year = OMG! 51??????

In a time long ago and a land far, far away, I was born on this day. Fifty seemed like a number that loomed into oblivian. Ancient. WAYYYYYY old. Well, that has come and gone and today it's fifty-ONE. The interesting thing is that I am told by so many, "but you don't LOOK 51" - but here's the deal: what, exactly, does any age "look" like?  Furthermore, I certainly don't FEEL fifty-one. I feel like I'm 12.

My father always said to me when I would get a little down about turning another year older, "Consider the alternative". Hunh? What does this mean? OHhhhhh, nevermind, I get it. Right - the alternative to life is.....

Today, I choose to celebrate life. My life. Past regrets, looking back - non existent. I am looking forward to a great day/year through the eyes of my 12-year old spirit,with the wisdom of a fifty-one year old!

OH,and I'm ignoring new wrinkles.

I'm available for your calls today!

Sending you angels,
Jane

Happy Birthday!! I'm 51 too. Welcome. :) Just reverse it.  I don't exactly feel like 15, but I certaintly do feel like I'm in my 30's.  And I confess I love it when people think I'm my granddaughter's mother, not grannie!!

Belated Happy Birthday Wishes!  Hope it was great.  As someone in your age bracket, I can understand the mental process.  My body may be 52, but my head thinks I'm 21! :-)
