Another Year Gone By...



Last year at this same time I was facing turning the big "50." I could not believe that I could possibly be that old and was feeling somewhat depressed about it. This Friday I will turn 51 and honestly, I have not thought much about it. I have chosen to "accentuate the positive," and focus on the wonderful things that I have in my life! I just spent two weeks vacationing. I enjoyed three great days in Las Vegas. My assistant manager and I flew down on a R&D trip to go see The Lion King and Jersey Boys. We floated in the lazy river at the Monte Carlo each morning, walked about a hundred miles in 112 degrees, looked at some buffet set ups, ate wonderful food and laughed a ton! The next week Russ and I enjoyed our trip to California, spending 8 days relaxing in the warm sun, riding beach cruisers on the strand, and seeing Topol in Fiddler on the Roof! He is 74 years old and still going strong! I am thankful that I have good health and can go on vacation, and spend time with the man that I adore and love. I love being a grandma! Last week I had a fun sleepover with Maddi and Allison. We went to the movies, the Childrens Museum, and rode ponies. It was so much fun and brought back great memories of visits to my Grandma's as a child. I love my job! How often do you get to go to work and plan parties? Everyday is a different party at The Gathering Place! I love working with the cute Brides to plan their special day! I love the excitement of planning our dinner theater "Witchapalooza." It offers me so much satisfaction each day! Yes, at 51, I can honestly say "Life is Great!"
Sunrise, Sunset, Sunrise, Sunset, swiftly fly the years,
One season following another, laden with happiness and tears...
