Things That I Would Rather Celebrate Instead Of My Birthday (Now That I Am Over 50), The List:

birthday11. The anniversary of my marriage.

2. All-clear mammogram and colonoscopy results.

3. Oldest child’s graduation from college.

4. Middle child’s graduation from college.

5. Youngest Child’s departure for college.

6. Finding a hair color that covers the gray.

7. The loss of 10 pounds and the gain of the realization that I am never again going to be thin but I can deal with that.

8. The purchase of a brand-new, shiny and slightly frivolous sports car that makes me feel so giggly and girly when Husband drives me around town.

9. The quality of my friendships, both in town and on social media, versus the quantity.

10.  Living long enough to finally see Peace on Earth and Goodwill To Men And Women.
