In 2008 I celebrated my 50th birthday!

To help me remember to see life’s best side as I age,
some of the pieces that I created in 2008
are named for the special gifts that nature gives to our elders.

As I enter my second half-century of life, I look forward to
nurturing these qualities in myself.
I’m determined to have a positive outlook on “getting old”.
After all, it’s a lot better than the alternative!

(Here is another way that I celebrated my 50th - with a 50K run)
