Happy 55th birthday to ME!πŸ₯³

Considering that I almost died at the end of October, 55 and alive is a very good saying for this year.

I've trudged through the trauma, done the therapy, reconnected with my children, and I'm going to make all of my dreams come true for me this year I am no longer living for anyone else or doing anything to make myself smaller ever again.

I treated myself to a spa morning, complete with a hot tub all to myself on the beach of Lake Tahoe, and I came home feeling like jello so I'm going to take a nice nap.

Has the official baby New Year of 1970 I wave my magic wand and I wish everybody to find their peace and joy for this year despite whatever goes on in the world. Let's just live our lives to the fullest! ❀️

I know from reading your posts you had a very rough year. I wish you a Happy New Year, a Happy Birthday, and an upcoming year that is way, way better than the one you just survived.

As a coincidence, a dear friend's granddaughter was born today. Very happy for them all!
