Throwback Thursday
Happy Thursday, friends. Let’s consider today’s “celebrating 40” topic a sort of Throwback Thursday, if you will. Hashtag TBT, as they say. Indeed, in the spirit of memory-keeping and in the spirit of gratitude, I thought it’d be nice to look back at some of the highlights of my 40th year.
