Counting down to 50!

I am counting down to my 50th birthday, and no it's not in a few days time. Its actually in a few years time, but I am so excited so much so that I want to start the countdown now. Maybe it is because of the #lockdown that has had all of us thinking things through, or maybe it's just age catching up with me and forcing me to take note of every moment. Either way, I am excited to be celebrating yet another birthday in a few days, and excited that this birthday is bringing me closer to my 50th. I have big plans for my 50th birthday, and I'm sure you are now rolling your eyes and thinking "woman stop and smell the roses on  the way!" I hear you and I intend to!  I will fully savour every second of this journey to 50 but there are things that will only come to maturity at that time. Think of it as when a woman is pregnant.  She enjoys every minute of the process of baby growing within her, but most of her anticipation is saved for that moment when she can hold baby in her arms and look at the tiny human that she has been housing the nine months. In the same way, I am going to enjoy every second of this journey and I am sure I am going to have memorable moments, but somehow i am waiting in anticipation for the clock to strike 50 and I can start counting the next 50 again.
