Turning 60 surprises...

 It was my 60th birthday on the 2nd

 and seems like I celebrated for a week

for this, for what I considered, a milestone birthday. 

The weeks prior to my birthday I was doing lots of serious reflection and

after all that seriousness... I surprised everyone and...

I got a tattoo.  LOL

Can't be too serious you know!  :)

 If you follow my blog you will know why

I chose a red dragonfly,

and why it is significant to me.

On another note...I had more surprises for my birthday.

My husband surprised me with a little birthday trip

up the coast to the lovely little town of Palacios, Tx.

We found a little historical waterfront B&B called

The Peaceful Pelican.

This was our sunrise, out our

2nd floor room.

Our 2 day stay was wonderful!

Then the weekend following our trip,

we had wall to wall family,

(which was also a surprise)

for a couple of days,

and we loved every minute of it.

They brought the food, they cooked,

we laughed, stayed up late,

and just had a wonderful time together.

 I feel that being 60 is great!

 WHY?....

Well....in my 60 years,

I've learned to...

... focus on the positive, joyful,

fullfilling and good things in my life.

AND...

...to not take things so seriously all the time,

to have a little more fun

AND...

... to accept myself and others more fully and completely.

ALSO...

I have grown into myself, and

I know who I really am now.

Mainly...

 I have learned to...

Savor the Day!
