"It feels fabulous": Johanna Griggs on turning 50
Johanna Griggs has shared her honest thoughts and feelings about turning 50, as she celebrated the milestone birthday with her nearest and dearest.
The Better Homes and Gardens host shared a series of snaps from her 50th birthday celebrations, while saying she had so many people "ask me how I feel about turning 50".
In a lengthy caption to Instagram, Joh said that she feels "fabulous" about the new stage of her life, and excited for the new chapter.
“I wasn’t going to put this up till tonight but I’ve already had so many amazing calls and messages ... and every single person has asked me how I feel about turning 50 and what I’m doing to celebrate it,” she began the caption.
“The honest answer is — it feels fabulous, and we’ve already enjoyed incredible celebrations. Plural!"
“I’ve never had any hang-ups about age, and just feel so lucky and grateful to have my family, friends, health and a job that I adore."
“I absolutely love our life and everyone who is in it.”
She shared that the past weekend was her family’s annual tennis tournament which they call Huggins Hill, where her siblings and mother gave her a “special gift”.
"I normally do all the cooking for all our family events, including this weekend — apart from what they organised for Saturday night,” she explained.
Joh went on to share that her family had organised caterers to cook a three-course meal for the birthday, as well as a bartender and spectacular birthday cake so Joh could spend the time with her family rather than in the kitchen.
“I honestly spent three days just laughing, crying with happiness, and having a ball with the people I love most in my life."
She concluded the post by saying that it is now “back to work, but with a very full and happy heart”.
Joh's post racked up thousands of likes, while the comments were flooded with happy birthday messages from fans and famous friends.
“We love ya Joh! Happy Birthday xx,” Sunrise weather presenter Sam Mac wrote.
“Happy, happy birthday you brilliant woman ❤️🥂,” 7News sports presenter Mel McLaughlin said.
“Love this post! And have loved seeing all the photos from your celebrations. Happy Birthday again Joh - you are rocking 50,” one commenter added.
