I love that you know me so well. I am truly still trying to get away with so much, just as I have always done and will probably always do! I’m seeing the same thing in F more and more and though it scares me sometimes, I know she’s just testing her boundaries–like I do. I thought about the men in my life as I wrote the post because I wasn’t sure how they’d relate. Surprisingly, I heard from many of them and it seems “we’re all in this together.” I’m so happy to have you as part of the ride. You always make me smile with your wit and wisdom and I hope we never lose you. XOXOX

In reply to Lisa McFerren. I am feeling very fortunate right now to have you as part of the DS+D family. I don't know how you found us but I can't imagine a day without a notification from you. I think you are terrific and those 5 grandchildren of yours are so lucky to have a Mimi as cool as you are. And also, you love cake so I imagine you all have a pretty good time together. Wish I could stop by one day to share in the fun, and if that day comes, save me the end piece! OXOXOXO Thank you for being a part of this. It means everything!

A great post from someone who’s not only old enough to know better but is also old enough to get away with it anyway. Much of what you said is true for us males of the species as well, so thank you for sharing! Just don’t do what I did when I hit 50 — for almost 3 months after my birthday, I had this dark, sepulchural voice in the back of my head intoning, “Haaaalf a centureee… haaalf a centureee…” until the day I realized that getting there had been a lot of hard work and it was an EARNED milestone! (Of course, now I look back at that time that’s most of a decade in my past with longing… ) Hang in there, yer doin’ good!

Oh My Goodness!! True, True all of it true!! Amazing how with age, our perspective on things change! Sounds like you have a good handle on things! Your doing great! Being a Mimi to 5 grandbabies has been an amazing blessing, But, man am I tired!! Sure don’t have the energy I did when my kids were young!! Soo, I shall have that extra big piece of cake! Lol

In reply to Julie. Yes, middle age is when most of us give up the idea of who we think we are supposed to be and love who we are. And if we don't, it's time to make that happen! XOXO Sprinkles do rule. They RULE hard.

In reply to Marilyn levine.

Hi Marilyn!! It’s so fun to see you here!! I love your comment! I do agree, it’s a really great time—although to be truthful, my 20’s were probably my favorite so far. I tell my kids that all the time and now they are also looking forward to their 20’s. F says she can’t wait to eat all the pizza she wants and all the candy without having to have fruit first (because I make her do that now.) HAAHAH!!! XOXOXO Thank you for being here!

I hope you know this is the best time of your life. You’re young enough to still look great but old enough to know what’s important. Enjoy every stage and age each brings its own joys. Happy birthday many more

I’ve got a year on ya and have also learned:
It is ALL about perspective.Yours.

Now is what ya got. Enjoy now. All of it.

Take risks! Leap!

Learn to like your body, or at least stop giving a sh*t what other people think about it. And what they have.

Hair sparkles are sexy. Sprinkles rule.
