Life is about changes nothing ever stays the same.
21 days away and the anniversary of hurricane Katrina is fast approaching.
Plans are being made for a memorial for those who survived the storm. I am not going to participate.
Turning 50 last year on August 29th was a milestone in my life. I remember sitting in my Mom's livingroom with my eyes glued to the T.V. watching the destruction of a city I called home. This past year I have had a hard time just finding something or a reason for wanting to be in New Orleans.
milestone (n.) An important event, as in a person's career, the history of a nation, or the advancement of knowledge in a field; a turning point.
So this year I am heading to San Antonio to celebrate my 51st birthday. I am going to enjoy time with my daughter and granddaughters. I am going to celebrate life.

An early Happy Birthday to you, Bev, from one August baby to another! (I'm August 7th. )
Anniversaries of events like Katrina are tough. People often experience stress and nightmares even if they otherwise think they're fine about it.
You've got the right idea - be with loved ones, someplace away from the epicenter. Here's wishing you many happy distractions on your trip!
Jen Happy Belated birthday to you!!
Thank you so much for the birthday wishes.
