Maybe you're like me. You don't need a current occasion to celebrate. Any occasion, such as a Saturday Soriee will suffice. So, that's what I did this past weekend. The very handsome new man in my life, Harrison, was away for the weekend so I decided to call my girlfriends and see if anyone was around to help me celebrate the big 6-O. Even if it was last month.
Yes, yes. I know. It seems impossible for a zany, serrendipitious and whimical lady like me to actually turn sixty years of age...I mean, I remember when I was fifteen and my beloved grandmother was approaching 60 years of age ~ she really seemed old. But, thankfully, today is a different story especially for women. Many of us are just now reconciling with our lives and our past. And now we are ready to embrace life as never before and reclaim our personhood. We know the best is yet to come. For now, some of the best occured this past weekend.
After a stop at the supermarket to gather the ingredients for spinich lasagna, roasted vegetables and carrots to bake a carrot cake, I made a quick stop at my local $1 store. Within minutes I'd picked out a bouquet of birthday balloons and cute little bags for the cute little party favors I'd collected. Whimical, huh. You bet! One of the White Elephant gifts we did was a little pillow with script that read, "Until further notice, celebrate everything." After our collective toast for everyone's birthday...you can bet we bid each other good-night recharged, renewed and inspired to tackle the madness and minutia of each of our own lives.
Until next time...Top blonde Taking the Day...
