Last weekend my friend Emily turned 30. So to celebrate the beginning of a new decade and a milestone year she threw a masquerade party! We got dressed up, wore masks, had a photo booth, drank "mocktails" and dined on exquisite cake. I thought to myself, "This is how everyone should treat their birthdays as they get older--it is a time to celebrate and be happy! I feel like our culture shuns old age and we do everything in our power to stop or even reverse the effects of aging. But aging another year means we have grown a little wiser and, hopefully, a little more grateful for our family and friends. I hope with each new milestone I embrace my aging and say "Come what may and love it!"
