Thankfully 57

December 8, 2019 By hautegreyfox Leave a Comment

During the Thanksgiving season, I had so many things that kept me joyful from one day to the next. Everything was topped off with an incredible birthday dinner in my honor, continuing the fun of spending time with my family and friends. I’m 57 years young, y’all!

Birthday Thankfully 57
THANKFULLY 57

I’ve always enjoyed celebrating my birthday because it’s around Thanksgiving, which means there’s a chance I’ll be spending it with many members of my family. What a gift! This year, I had the privilege of doing it one more time.

    How did I celebrate?

    We brought out lots of delicious food (like gumbo) — and the cards, y’all. From Uno to spades, we played round after round. It was so much fun spending downtime with my family.

      Post-birthday, we all went to the Angus Barn in Raleigh. I had their rib-eye, a baked potato, and a salad. For dessert, I had their New York cheesecake with strawberries. To my surprise, they also brought out a pound cake with raspberry to continue celebrating my birthday. Everything was delicious, the restaurant was gorgeous, and the service was great. Preparing for the holiday season, decorations were on full display.

        Who joined the celebration?

        I am so incredibly thankful to be known and loved by many. From my number one supporter, my husband, to my children, nieces, nephews, cousins, colleague’s , Insta friends and longtime friends that are simply known as family, I am blessed. I don’t take it for granted that I get to celebrate another year, and I never want to forget the feeling of unconditional love and support from my family and friends.

          Why celebrate?

          With each birthday, it’s hard not to wonder about things that happened or things you could have done differently. As I woke up on my birthday, I was thankful. I was thankful for a new morning and new mercies. I was thankful for the opportunity to spend even more time with my loved ones. Today, I’m thankful for lessons learned, celebrations, and highlights. I’m even thankful for the hard moments, like disappointments or a change of plans.

          I want to continue living with thankfulness. There are many reasons to celebrate — we just need to look a little closer.

          I’m thankfully 57. What about you?

          A year ago today I was in beautiful Mexico @thefiv A year ago today I was in beautiful Mexico @thefivesbeachhotel wearing this gorgeous @freepeople dress surrounded by family and close friends — a day away from witnessing my  my son marry the love of his life.  Shortly after our return to the states NC was shut down by the pandemic.  Looking back  I realize that 2020 has taught me some valuable lessons.  I’ll share a few...
.
.
.
1.  Find happiness in simple things.
2.  Who I surround myself with directly impacts the quality of my life (positively or negatively) sounds cliche but birds of a feather... 
3.  Actions reveal more than words. 
5.  Never stop learning.
6.  I am more capable than my doubts.
7.  Stay humble and nonjudgemental. 
8.  Beautiful relationships are the key to an amazing life - never be afraid to walk away from someone who does not value you.
9.  Kindness always wins.
10.  Be authentic. 
.
.
What has 2020 taught you?

          Fun fact: Valentine’s Day is also my wedding ann Fun fact: Valentine’s Day is also my wedding anniversary. This year will make 24  years. Marking the big day may have a few changes, but trust that I’m going to bring the fashion — day and night. @lovechicos is helping me celebrate, and they even sell cute face coverings to bring along.
 
For our day date, I’m keeping it casually chic with Chico’s black and white Heart-Print Shirtdress. It has a classic fit with long sleeves, front pockets, a button closure collar, and my favorite — a removable tie belt to adjust your look.
 
For our evening date, which includes takeout from our favorite restaurant, I’m keeping things classic with Chico’s timeless Travelers black dress.  We’re not going anywhere, but it feels so great to dress up for something special — a celebration of love. The Travelers Dress is wrinkle-resistant and has a beautiful silhouette.
 
Love is always in the air. Celebrate in a way that brings you joy.
