love love love this Hilary and Happy Birthday again! Being 59 I sure wish I could tell my 25 year old former self that mentally I would still be 25 at 59! 😉
Caren – thank you so much! I don’t believe you are 59! You go girl!!! I love your advice for your 25 year old self. Best advice ever and I love how that is your outlook!

I did leave a comment and Tweet over there. I got posts and dates mixed up so a VERY Happy belated Birthday to you, Hilary!!! 🙂 p.s. Lucy, go give your mommy a slurpy kitty (friendship) kiss for me on her cheek for her birthday! 🙂
Mike – THanks so much. I am heading back there next!
Mike – do I have too? Okay, fine. I will give her a slurpy kitty kiss from you. but only because you are one of my best buds! XOXO Lucy
