Happy Black Friday!

OMG! It's been forever since I've blogged. It's not that I haven't been doing anything. I just didn't know what to say or how to say it.

It's been an amazing 6 months. I've been to the Mediterranean. Seen the Acropolis, Rome, the Pyramids and Sphinx, Pompeii, Ephesus and Istanbul. They were trips of a lifetime. I've made new friends and learned so much.

I turned 50 last Sunday. 50!!!! I can't believe it. I feel great. Definitely not 50. There are days of course but mostly not 50.

I've lost 30 pounds in the last year - 20 of them in the last two months. Me, Queen Latifa and Valerie Bertinelli and Jenny Craig. And I can't forget my time in the gym. How can I forget, my body is screaming at me after Wednesday's work out.

The most important thing on my mind is - I have great friends and family. While my finances are in a mess, aren't everyones? I'm reminded that it's relationships that are most important. The finance thing will be worked out. But without health and friends life in deed would be dull and without meaning.

So today, instead of shopping (4:30am?!? not) I'm feeling extra grateful. I'm going to finish cleaning the house and start decorating for Christmas. This year I'm going to enjoy it all.
I hope you do too.
