Am I turning 50?

I can’t help but giggle. Why? Mainly because I wanted two simple things for my 50th birthday - warm chai tea latte and an ocean view. It was planned and set to happen until this virus came along- the plan has been shelved. I am so grateful for Southwest’s great benefits and flexibility with flight changes and putting things on hold!

I am bummed. I live in an extreme suburban neighborhood and the only view I have is of my neighbors kitchen window. No ocean. No lake or body of water in sight.

I am choosing joy and changing my perspective going into this milestone birthday- I do have so much to be grateful for :

I have a beautiful home to spend time and recharge in with my family.

I have healthy food to nourish my body.

I have plenty.

I have my health.

I have a job.

Sometimes when you think you are going in one direction and you plan and prepare for it, you are shocked with it all changes. Moving from shock to my new perspective, I am grateful. I choose to show up with joy in my heart and head. Here’s to 50!
