This is 50. I finally understand the old SNL character, Sally O'Malley, proud to be 50 and still kicking and stretching. Last week, one of my gym buddies told me on his 50th, when asked what he wanted to do, he said, "Squats." I told him I was stealing his line.
Thank you to all who took the time out to message me today. I had a great day filled with so many lovely birthday wishes and several surprises. I got in a good workout and saw a handful of patients. My mom surprised me and stopped in for a hug and a gift. My siblings outdid each other with their thoughtful bday poems. And, Lucky girl that I am, I got a 3rd (private) poem from Skip. Who gets 3 poems on their bday??? 🤗
Tonight, Skip treated us to my favorite restaurant in Brooklyn . Lucas surprised me by coming up from Philly just to share the meal. It was, of course, exceptional, and the owner and staff took such good care of us. I could eat every birthday meal there happily. When the candle came on my tiramisu, I had nothing left to wish for. 🎂❤️
