My 50th Jubilee!

I made it!  Yesterday was 50th Birthday Jubilee!!

I've been reflecting for a while what it means to turn 50 and what comes to mind is Gratitude.  I decided to create a list of 50 things that I'm grateful for.

Girlfriends; who have been like Sisters.

Girlfriends; who have been like Mothers.
