Turning 57 ~

How did this happen ? I laugh because as I've aged I've been told that I still appear to look younger than I am, which is a huge compliment. I am so thankful, however my body is NOT the same. Things are sagging, wrinkles are more pronounced. I wake up stiff on more occasions than not. There are so many things that have changed since turning 50. But there are so many GREAT things I've notice since turning 57. I don't give a shit about so many things like I use to. I'd drive myself insane worrying about so many little things. I rarely get my panties in a wad over shrinking clothes that should have been hung to dry. I don't care about the FOMO. I use to feel devastated when I was excluded. I use to care when people I knew never reached out to say hello. I really don't care anymore if I hear from certain people ever again. My peace means more to me these day. So less stress, don't get me wrong I still get angry and sad and have all the feelings but I get over it quickly. I vent and let it go.

Me and my Molly Girl ! She is my sweet heart and I'm so glad I have her in my life.

The girls and the little dude ! My 3 furry friends. We adopted the pittbull from my daughter. We now have 3 dogs and I'm not mad one bit.

Here we are with 2 of the youngest grandchildren. It's always a JOY seeing these two kiddos. They stopped over on my actual Birthday and brought me the sweetest gift ever. I got a coffee mug with their photos all over it.

Little Miss E was so excited for my Birthday Cake ~ Tia made me the best tasting Angel Food Cake from scratch. She added homemade whipped topping and sprinkles. This is a replica of the cake my mother would make for me on my birthdays growing up. Tia is amazing and it tasted so delicious.

It was the best day ever. Getting to see my children and grandkids topped it off. I'm thankful for turning another year older. I am embracing the aging thing you know the number that's JUST a NUMBER. My mom told me "Be thankful you made it another year" It's so true,
