I love birthdays! They are seriously my favorite thing to celebrate aside from Christmas. My parents made birthdays really special when my sister and I were growing up, so I’ve continued that tradition.
It’s also a cause to celebrate – another trip around the sun, adventures to amazing places, my health, my family, and my Boys.
This year is no different — I’ve got some fun planned, a gluten-free cake on-order, and I received flowers today (2 dozen tulips) from my Boys! They are sweet 🙂
And it’s also to reflect on my countdown to 50… and 60 countries. Am I close? Yes, to both. I’m closer to the age than the goal, but that’s ok. I’m due to rack up two more unique countries this year. And, if I keep the pace of 1-2 countries a year I will likely exceed the goal. But, as I’ve said, it’s not about the number specifically. It’s about achieving that goal! I’m grateful for my friends and family that have joined me along the way. It’s about the journey.
