Who would you like to invite to your mid-life celebration? At 50, you must have loved, lost, gained, and won back a lot of people. Celebrate your life with the people who matter the most. Are you a big party kind of person or would you rather keep it small and intimate? Either way is perfectly acceptable. Some people would like to celebrate their 50 meaningful years with a big crowd - all the people who have been instrumental in living through it. Meanwhile, there are other people who would rather take it easy. This milestone merits some reflection on the lessons and memories, and this is done best by celebrating with only a handful of people.

You have a treasure trove of good and bad memories. That is an achievement worth celebrating!
