I turned 70 in November. I now tell Myself every day is one day closer to retirement and is the first day of the rest of my life. No one thought I’d live past 7 so I guess I’m doing pretty good!

When I turned 60 I celebrated all year long! I celebrated with family and friends with 8 (yes 8!) different parties all over the country. With different friends groups. It was an awesome year!!

I turned 50 this year and after spending a week last Fall in the "heart failure wing" of Cleveland Clinic, my husband invited our 10 best couples friends to a weekend away at a local winery! It was a wonderful party surrounded by those 10 "besties" and was super meaningful to me, the speeches shared made me feel so loved & treasured! Milestones are amazing celebrations 🍾!

Birthdays and New Year's Eve are when I feel most aware of the passage of time -- and how filled or unfilled my life is.
