Today I am 55. This is not, of course, possible.  I’ll stand 35 at a pinch but late 20’s is how I feel.

I am celebrating well. Sometimes that’s what’s left to do when all else is said and done; celebrate or grieve.  
An apposite gift was from my husband – ‘What would Jesus Wear?’  A wonderful moment – opening cards.

  
What am I celebrating?

• 55 extraordinary years on this planet.
• Eccentric, bizzare, creative parents.
• A network of family and friends.
• Time with the people I love doing what we are passionate about.
• Laughter – lots.
• Love – the fragile, precious value of acceptance and accepting.
• Music.
• Animals.
• Nature.
• The sea.
• My life today.  Now.

  
It gets better; surer footed.  More confident.  Life demands engagement and I’m up for that.  Big time.
