Uh-Oh....the Big 5-0!!!

Whew!  The last three months since I made it over to The Porch to post have been a blur.....of business, activity, no time....

But, with my BIG BIRTHDAY lurking around the corner - in less than four hours, to be exact - I felt compelled to make the time to get a new post up here at Janie's Porch. 

When I say BIG BIRTHDAY, I mean exactly that!  

This is a milestone, any way you look at it!!!  

The big FIVE-OH!!!!

More than anything, it has been an occasion for me to just stop, take a deep breath and reflect on my Life up to this point.  And, you know what?  It's been a Good Life, very good, indeed. 

I have been blessed beyond measure!  I was raised by loving parents - my younger sister and I had a happy childhood, so safe and secure.

I have the love of a Good Man!  He makes me feel like a Queen, the most important person in the whole wide world.  Who can ask for more than that?!?!?

I have three fantastic children, who make me proud every day to be their "momma"!

 I have two adorable grandchildren, who just make Life fun and exciting!

I have the three best PUPS on the planet!  They enrich my Life in ways you just won't understand if you don't have a beloved pet.

Pepper and Scout

I have an exciting new career and am off to a great start!  It's challenging and rewarding every single day.

Yep, I am BLESSED and thankful to have made it this far in Life.  Looking forward to the next 50!!!

Take the time to stop and count your Blessings today! 

A multitude of hugs to you......
