I am all the ages I've ever been. ~ Anne Lamott
The first of the official parties happened tonight. My friends Lauralee and Theresa are women that I have worked with during my 30-year stint as an interpreter. We had a lovely Italian supper in the Village, catching up on our lives and sharing a few memories.
We even had a good laugh about the fire truck roaring by….as if it were coming to put out the 50 candles on my birthday cake!
At one point, Theresa mentioned that we had known some really amazing people who we never see any more. Throughout the ages of our lives, we are blessed with different people who come in and out of our presence. Sometimes the paths cross again but not always. However, the heart is always grateful even for the brief time spent together.
I am saying goodbye tomorrow to my forties and beginning to greet the fifth decade of my life on Saturday. I am grateful for all the ages I have ever been and all the people who have shared the journey, like dear friends such as Lauralee and Theresa.
Peace,
Suzanne
