The 50th Birthday is a striking date. Have you ever reached it? Then you might wonder how many others beyond midlife, as it will go, what to bring to life yet? This was no different for me.
Most are over 50 say of himself, I’m not old. I stand in the middle of my life. And yet: It is the right moment to set the stage for the next phase of life. To think about
Finally, I got time to make some update here 😉
Last January 3, I celebrated my golden year, YES you read it right I’M 50!
On that day, I celebrated with my colleague (at work). I tell you it was 3 days celebration 😛
The first celebration was on the exact date and day at work, I was on duty. I just prepared at home salad and bought a baked cake from merkur market, because I don’t have time to cook on that day. See down here a mix plate of grilled meat, brown bread, salad and of course chili.
We just ordered the grill plate from grill city located at 20th and 21st District of Vienna. A Serbian wood charcoal grill Restaurant.
The second celebration occurs at home with Saint Vincent de Paul family (Marrige Spirituality-Holy Family Community) with father Ron Sandoval our beloved spiritual adviser. Sister Tess San Buenaventura- one of our Elders and wife of our choir master, who made my birthday cake that day, so grateful to her for being so kind and thoughtful, priceless.
Then the following day which was the third celebration day was with the 21st birthday celebration of my son Ronald-Louis. Also at home with some new friends. The birthday cake was made by Weng a huge one!
