Year of Jubilee

Last Saturday I turned 50. I ended up the the Old Fart Jar.
A dubious honour indeed.

We ate dinner at the Sirloin Cellar in downtown Hamilton.

We were joined by my parents and Theo and Tena. Rick and Wendy came a little later with a nice couple who they were scheduled to have dinner with, but instead, dragged them along to my birthday dinner. Bill and Pam Farrel authors (of over 30 books) and speakers on marriage.

I told Pam about wanting to write a book and she told me that since it is my fiftieth year that I could look at it as my year of Jubilee. The year of Jubilee is a biblical term regarding a year of rest or a celebration. Pam told me to actually take time to write.

A tall order indeed. Blogging is about all the writing I have been doing lately and I am terribly sporadic at best. Doing the housework and the business bookkeeping as well as teaching Home with a Heart and also leading a bible study group for women at church all take up plenty of the hours in my day. And there are a couple of cute little babies are taking up a good chunk of my time -

but I wouldn't miss it for the world. And that time cannot be lived again.
Only time will tell just how Jubilee-ish this year will be.
