The day has come. I am 50. It’s amazing to even say the words out loud.

What a life the lucky high school senior with that great hair will have. 

And oh, what lessons she’ll learn.

I wish I had the words this morning to write something profound and meaningful. Maybe in the coming days something will come to me. But what I feel now is gratitude.

Grateful to have had 50 years of this life. Hopeful for many more.
