On Turning Fifty and My Wonderful Surpise Party!

My husband and my best friend's husband pulled it off...with a little help from our kids and our friends! Yesterday I turned 50 and on Saturday night I was given a surprise party that also included my best friend Laura. I have known Laura for 35 years now and I can't imagine a better best friend.

The party was fantastic and filled with the usual...jokes about memory loss, hot flashes, sagging body parts, poor eyesight, etc.... but all in good fun. I received some lovely gifts, the food was fantastic and the night flew by.

Reflecting on the party the next day I came away with this:

50 is just a number (most days I still feel like I am in my 30's)

Money cannot buy happiness

The safest place in the world to me is in my husband's arms

I would give all I have to protect my daughter and husband from harm

Good health of mind, body, and spirit is priceless

A blessing is the fact that this year I celebrated my 25th wedding anniversary and my 50th birthday with my wonderful parents by my side. (My Mom, 86 and my Dad 85 both did jello shots at my party!)

Barb,

Gimme' a break. You can't be 50. If you are, you hold your age very well. happy birthday.

Diane, Thanks, that's good advice.

Terry, You just made my day!!!!!!!!Thanks!

Happy belated Birthday Barb! The 50's are like the new 40's are they not:)

Thanks Bill! Yes they are and I do have to say I feel great.

So right about the numbers thing, and you don't look a day over 23 anyway. Happy and late birthday wishes to you. You have a wonderful family and life is good to you,

Thanks Joyce. That's a very sweet thing to say! And I do have a wonderful family.

Kudos to your husband and family, Barb. Looks like you all had a blast. It is great that your parents were able to be there too for your monumental event.

Barb, Happy "B" Day!! I passed my 50th some time back and now...soon...will be that other milestone. My 40th was the best...long time friends and family. Where has the time gone? I can remember being 25 and thinking...40...50...was so far off...I've got all the time in the world...well, so I thought. Here's to the next big one!

Thanks Nick. I know what you mean and I remember my Mom saying "I know I'm 60 but inside I still feel like I'm 30" and now I understand.
