Today I will...

Today I will... How do you fill in the blank? I have had a birthday and that always makes me reflect. I have had many experiences, highs, valleys, turns, and mountains, but today I will ENJOY the journey!

We are always moving. As the song says: On to the next thing. I am GUILTY, GUILTY, GUILTY.

If we take time to enjoy the journey, we will have memories that are not blurs, but rich beyond measure. One day I plan to sit on the beach with my favorite beverage and just... Yes, I will take a break, but the party will never stop.

I have three children that are now adults. Each is their own person and I appreciate each one's uniqueness. I enjoyed the journey of getting each to this point in their lives--what a journey. Someone told me that I am now their coach and no longer a parent. Well I have found that you are always parenting no matter how old, maybe it is just me, but WHATEVER.

I am a daughter,sister, wife (yes I DO have a husband--he has braved 30 years and my contract has been renewed),mother, aunt, cousin,and friend. I wear a lot of hats and fill many roles, but the party never stops.

My motto is 'Let's get this party started..." but in reality the party has never stopped and I like it like that.

Yep I am 53 years old and GLAD about it. Not shame to tell it, and not trying to hide from my age. OHHH the journey. There are some bones buried in places that will never be found. There are stories that will never pass my lips, but ohhhh the journey and the party will never stop!

I believe in technology and got my FaceBook game on par, my twitter is tweeting,I am vamping up my blog skills, I can do a mean BBM and have a full conversation and never move my lips--who would have thought? I am a JayZ fan and love 50Cent--yes, I like and understand hip hop, Rick Ross ain't bad either. Maybach Music anyone? The party will never stop.

I have entered some new doors and cracked the window for entry into some new dimensions, but the party never stopped. I am learning from some young Lions with my Seasoned Cougar self, but the party will never stop.

Today I will...enjoy the journey, dream and have vision, be ME ('cause everyone else is taken), share my truths ('cause I have done some living), be of service( 'cause I like to be creative), GO where I am celebrated ('cause I am LOTS of fun), love those who love me and pray for those who don't ('cause they are missing out) continue to be blessed( 'cause God is good all the time and all the time God is good--AMEN church), be "delicious" and most important of all make sure the party never stops for ME or YOU. In the words of Marvin Gaye, "Let's get it on". Today I will...
