Birthdays!

Yes today is my birthday.  I turn 52.  Thinking back I thought  wow, 52.  Never thought about birthdays much, remember I really looked forward to them as a kid.  You get cool gifts from people you invite to your parties, as you get older you remember turning 16 you get your drivers license,  18 being able to vote and 21 thinking wow I can drink (18 back in the day). As you turn 25 you think great a discount on my car insurance.  You get 30, 40 and OMG the big 50 comes around and the minute you turn 50, you get all this mall from AARP.  My health starts failing and you think where the time went. I do remember turning 50, had a great party!  My son graduated, I got to spend some time with my grandkids and friends and had one hell of a bar -b- que.  You always wished you could be older until one day you wish you could be younger.  I love being in the 50s. My hair is gray which some women think is sexy, you can’t do as much as you use to be able to but hell your just glad you can do it!  You can play with cool stuff with your grandkids and no one calls it childish, yes 52 is great.  Some people say that 50 is the new 30!  I spent my 30^th birthday in Turkey. Can’t remember much, yes I will blame old age.  Not Jim Beam!  I don’t do too bad in the health department, watch what I eat, (From the table to my mouth,  and exercise.  I can’t wait until 60.  By then I can tell people I can eat what I want, when I want and so on.  My mom is 82, she does what she wants.  It’s awesome.  I share my birthday with some pretty famous people, Clint Eastwood, he made my day!, I bet he is saying the same thing about me!  LOL. Broadway  Joe Namath, although I have never worn panty hose, and Peter Yarrow who is a third of the famous Peter Paul and Mary group.  He actually wrote Puff the magic dragon and Wedding song.  Awesome group! The really cool thing is I get to share my birthday with you guys, all my friends and my family.  I can say yes I am truly blessed. Anyway, I could write a few more lines but I am off to celebrate.  52 shots for 52 years.  Who said it could not be done!  TB Did!!    Until next time!!!!
