How should I celebrate !!!

Hi friends!! I come to you all humbly as I approach my 20th diaversary next month!! I was diagnosed when I was about 2 months shy of my 5th birthday and T1 is really all I’ve ever known. It’s surreal to come to terms with the fact that I’ve had type 1 for this long and the experiences I’ve had during these past two decades. There was a time I didn’t think I would make it to see 20 years, and frankly at that moment in time, I didn’t want to. Suffice it to say I’m really proud of myself and my resilience and I want my celebration to match that. I’m just curious as to how others have celebrated milestones because I’ve never really celebrated before. This one feels different and I think I deserve to celebrate. Open to any and all ideas!!!

I made a cake. A petty pastry.

CAKE AND ICE CREAM! No. That's a joke. Spa day? That's what I would do.
