I spent a gazillion hours going through all my digital photos. It was a good chunk of my life, 30 years + scanned photos from childhood until I got a digicam. I was trying to see if there's a good way to curate 50 years of my life through photos. I selected almost 1,500 photos and realized it's impossible to tell a good story about the 5 decades I've been through.

Yes, as of 12:15 pm today, I am 50 years old. Time does fly and I had been wracking my brain how best to celebrate this moment. I thought I'd write about life lessons, a chronicle of my life, a run-down of key moments, eras, and Sweetie suggested I write 50 things I'm grateful for. I'm a scatterbrain and I'm cramming this post before we head for bed.
It's honestly hard to write a good piece when a fourth of your body is in pain. I had planned to have a good celebration. In fact, ten years ago the gaylas said they were going to plan my golden birthday. Things went bad over a month ago, so I told them no party for now. I'm still hopping around the house and will need to see my Ortho. Ugh, bummer.
Anyway, I'm just grateful for life, my family, the blessings and a new chapter. Faith in God and love will continue to fuel the next chapter and the challenges I will face. Thank you Papa God for everything.
Happy birthday to me!
