I’m so lucky and grateful to have many wonderful people in my life! All week long, I’ve been celebrating a major milestone of my life: TURNING 50! For over 19 years I’ve been teaching fitness programs geared toward boomers and seniors, and I’m finally qualified to take my own classes. Woo-hoo! My class members surprised me with lots of birthday merriment on my actual birthday. They wanted me to feel special for joining their elite club (I do!), and what fun it all was and still is. I had “Happy Birthday” sung to me so many times that I lost count. Then over the weekend I spent time with dear family and friends, and we went on a couple of excursions that I’ll never forgot.  I guess turning the big five-o ain’t so bad after all. Here are a few photos from my fabulous birthday week.
