Can you believe it? This year, I am turning a BIG milestone age. People often dread getting older but I am living a life of NO REGRETS! I truly believe that I am getting better and I am just getting started. I am kicking things off with a list of cool things I want to do before I turn half a century. It is exciting because I feel blessed and privileged to be alive! In this post, I am sharing some of the things that I have already done and some things that I am looking forward to doing before my birthday. Enjoy this fun post of 50 days and 50 things to do before 50.
A Time to Celebrate Me
I have spent most of my life waiting for people to celebrate me. I love celebrating people, I never hold back on cheering for those I love and the people in my life. But time and time again, I was often disappointed because when it came to me – it was not the same. I was expecting “me” from people and it took a lot of heartache for me to learn my lesson. Now, I have learned that it is okay to celebrate myself and be thankful for all that God has blessed me with. So, cheers to me and some of the great things that I have done and yet to do!
