50 is not just a number

So I have turned 50. Nothing really happened. I look essentially the same. I still have my little tea pot shape,I do waddle like my Mom, I still love to listen to Motown and I make someone really happy and really furious every day. I may still be the same but I feel pretty darn lucky.
Thank you to all who did a Nae'nae' 50 list. Here is mine; What 50 years of living have brought me:

19- Every day I like to learn something new, today I learned about reflexology and bought a book about it.
20- I realize that watching a chick peck out of an egg is a religious experience that bonds your heart to that bald little black thing for life.

22- I will never do, be or buy the previous items.
