I am thankful for many things and for many people in my life.

To be able to enter 59 today.
To love. To be able to give to people in need. Instead of needing to receive.
To have a wonderful family and my parents still among us.

To be healthy. So far.

This will be my last year in my 50's. I reflect on my 59 years on the Planet Earth.
I thank God giving me strength to face all the obstacles life has thrown at me.
Being able to do what I desire and call it a job.. I am a photographer since 1998. In case any of you had any doubts. 😁😁😁

Sharing my life so far for 31 years with a wonderful carling man. My husband. This was his hand made card for me this morning. I am truly blessed.

Next year in December 24th 2019 I will start embracing my 60s.
Anthony and I just decided to be somewhere warm to raise that glass and blow out my candle and make a wish in December 2019.

I remember entering my 50's like it was yesterday. Oh la la. All the crazy parties.
How time flies.

To all the envious vultures who pretended to be my friend and who are now gone from my life, I thank you all. You know who you are. You have pushed me to do a much needed clean up. You are all gone baby. Quality versus quantity. All the way.
My true friends have always stayed around, supported me and we still appreciate each other's company.

Any regrets? Off course I have some. But very few. I am only a human after all.
I am happy that I have experienced the good and the bad moments in my life. Which thought me so much to appreciate everything. And it made me only stronger, maybe a bit wiser. Trust is no longer given. It is earned. Time shows everyone's true colors.

Thank you for all your wonderful birthday wishes. In private, in plublic, in the social media and by phone calls.
I am a very lucky girl indeed. You have once again spoiled me like each year.

Age is just a number in my mental status right now. My all natural body and face might disagree with it. Ask me again when I am 70. In 10 years.

I say. Embrace the moment, be thankful. Be happy. Be content. Love everything to it's fullest. Be positive. Negativity and trying to be funny through dark sarcasm are only manifestations of your inner insecurities. Try not to judge people especially if you don't like being judged. Love life. Because it is so fragile. Never forget this. Try to find your inner peace. Everything else will follow.

I no longer make a to do goal list. I reached where I want to be. I am happy with what I have. Bigger is not always better. I have just decided to enjoy life more. My husband and I, we are traveling much more. My new goal might be simple and stupid. But it is genuine for sure.

Have a wonderful Holiday Season. From our house to yours. Because home is where your heart is.
