What I love is the motto, it is so good! Don't know why I never thought of it like that before. Here it is:<br /><br />'Have a fabulous day - my motto is "celebrate the occasion not the number" (I of course started doing this once I didn't want to celebrate the number any more...)<br />How fantastic that you share a birthday with your Most Loved One!'Fiona Ferrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01493105915055099408noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4130537499074859934.post-371078891079180312016-10-31T06:47:46.354+13:002016-10-31T06:47:46.354+13:00Fiona, I'm so sorry I missed your birthday!

I adore the age that I am. I've had some amazing experiences and look forward to many more years. There are so many things that I still want to do, see and accomplish in my life. I agree with you, Fiona, that it's irritating to hear people complain about their age. The "over the hill" comments, etc - what a bad attitude. Wishing you all the best on your special day, Fiona!

My oldest son, who had an interview in PIttsburgh the next day, invited me to join him on a roadtrip so I could go to Fallingwater, the famous Frank Lloyd Wright house in rural Pennsylvania that I've been dying to visit for years. It was a great experience, and solidified my preference for experiences -- especially travel -- over things. <br /><br />My sixties are going to be my best decade ever, I just know it.Sistyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12392797355758635079noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4130537499074859934.post-48552421504543214162016-10-24T14:15:25.174+13:002016-10-24T14:15:25.174+13:00Happy belated birthday to you both!

My husband is taking me away for a long weekend to a B&B in New Hampshire to enjoy the end of the leaf peeping season, do some shopping, treat ourselves to some wonderful meals, destress and just relax and enjoy spending time together. I know some women don't like to tell their age(I will be 56) but I love the shocked look I get when I reveal my age, tell people the ages of my three grown children,and can now also proudly state that I am a grandma! Every birthday is the beginning of a new chapter in the story of your life- we have the choice to make it an awesome chapter in the way we live that year out. Here's to celebrating many more birthdays and writing many more chapters! Thanks for the inspiring post and refreshing attitude towards growing older! Lorna L.
