And so I turned 50 today and I'm going to copy and paste my posts from Facebook on here just so I can have a record of it somewhere and what better place to have it than on my blog which is my journal of sorts.
First post: The Big Five 0... Thank you All for being a part of my life. I've had the time of my life these past 49 years. It's been quite the roller coaster ride and Every single one of you has touched my life one way or another. Life is nothing with out good Family and Friends. May you all be Blessed in your lifes journey as I have been in mine. Darcy, 19 of those years have been the BEST because of you. (and attached to this post was the theme song to Hawaii Five-0
Second post: Thank you ALL for the Birthday wishes... Had a great time today. Thanks to Sadie for coming up from AZ to make sure I didn't just be my usual hermit self and stay home lol. We went to see Green Lantern AND Transformers. Then we went to PF Changs for Dinner with Red Velvet cake for dessert. YUM!! And we got lost on the way home lol...Hopsing one and two, too much talky talky lol...
And I'm driving home after dinner and talking and laughing, and giggling, and laughing, and I finally "REALLY" pay attention to the road and I'm like, "hey, nothing looks familiar" WTH did i miss a turn somewhere? So I pull out the phone and have Sadie bring up the Navigator GPS... Come to find out we were still on I5 but we were on our way to Canada. Yes, we were going North instead of South and Sadie says "Hey, I have my passport, do you?" ROFL So the next turnoff for us is 3 miles ahead and as I'm taking the exit I notice, Ooooo, Tulalip Casino is just up the street and I mention this to Sadie... "Hmmm It's a Sign" she says ROFL... "Darcy would say, Why is there a charge at the Casino?" was what she said next and we Howled with laughter but that sobered us RIGHT away LOL... So needless to say, No, we didn't go to the Casino but I, WE were very tempted but it's hard to Justify, a college student and a housewife wasting $$ at a Casino Even if it was my 50th Birthday lol.
No...Except for my knees creaking when I walk up and especially down the stairs, or having to put my glasses on to read, or not being able to shed the pounds like I used to way back when, or find that my nipples can almost go into my belly button, I don't feel any older. I may be a little wiser because I don't really stress out about petty issues anymore, or care about what people say or do that have negative connotations and just stay away from them.
My outlook on life? Life is too short to be Unhappy. Do what makes you happy. Happy is a frame of mind. Do not allow yourself to be brought down by negative energy and if you do find yourself in such dire straights then know that it is within your power to change that negative energy into a Positive force field. Nobody is perfect and we all have bad days mixed in with the good but you are the person that has to make the decision as to How you will move forward and deal with the bad days... The lyrics to one of my favorite childhood songs is "If you chance to meet a frown, do not let it stay, quickly turn it upside down and smile that frown away."
-Strive to Never burn bridges because having to try and swim to get back to the other side can be a bitch, especially if nobody wants to throw you a lifesaver.
-NEVER FAIL to Tell the people that you love that you LOVE them, as one Never knows what tomorrow may bring...
-Learn the True meaning of "Unconditional" love.
-Say "Please" and "Thank you". Be polite and considerate to those around you because it makes them happy and makes you a better person.
Time just FLEW right by me. Next thing I knew my parents have passed away, my nieces and nephews are all grown up and graduating from High School, I don't recognize a lot of family members because I've been away too long and the children that they've had are having children, everyone looks familiar but I can't place who, where or when.
But now that I'm 50 there is not much else to do but just keep moving forward and seeing what more life has in store for me.
I love you Darcy. The love of my life these past 19 years, standing behind me through thick and thin, and especially for ALL the Family "fa'alavelave" that has so very OFTEN shown it's big gnarly teeth. So many times I thought that you would just raise your arms and say "I've had enough" but no, you are the Most Stoic person that I have Ever met in my whole entire life. Were that I could live up to your expectations and I could only hope and attempt to make the world a better place for you as you have done for me.
I love you my Family, my friends, The people who have enriched my life with thier love, laughter and tears. Laughter. Laughter is the music of the Gods. I implore you that you find your inner strength to persue Happiness. Life is too short to spend it wallowing in misery, sorrow and unhappiness.
And so I am today, a Half a century old and I give to you my words of wisdom from my lifes experiences...
And that is my blip for my BFFs for today.
