Thanks, Michelle, for sharing so deeply and authentically. It is always refreshing, and my heart opens even more. I remember my 50th, and it was funny. I saw my first boyfriend (the one I wanted), and it was like yesterday - nobody home, the same clicks that I didn't fit into, and the person I wanted to see didn't show up. I agree that there's always someone who makes you feel important (the organizers), but when I tried to engage, I didn't fit in again. I looked younger and in better shape than most of them, and realized after a couple of tacos, it was time to leave. Fifty years ago was a time of getting by and learning as you go... I thank God for my Badminton Coach and Grandmother, who believed in me, and a few teachers who kept the encouragement going... I think of them often and know I am better because of them, the few, but vital. Bless you, my friend! Suzette
