I got up the morning of my birthday and I felt remarkably good! Nothing ached, nothing fell off and I didn't have to install anything, other than glasses. But, hey, I have had "four eyes" since 7th grade, so that has nothing to do with old age.
I got many messages of from old school chums on Facebook and other friends along the way. I got cards and even Mike thought my birthday was an occasion for flowers, which shocked me no end!
I checked my email and got this picture. wow...it brought me to tears. My sweet little people drew me a picture and then posed for this picture. It is a keeper for sure. I look in their eyes and see all the youth that is long gone from my face. Their skin is like new and their smiles are pure delight. I can almost dive into the picture and kiss them until they giggle. I am blessed to have them in my life.
so, I am a year older and a decade older at the same time. I feel good, I can almost touch my toes again and I am strong. I can dig in the garden, sit in the sun and enjoy my days. It is ok to be 60.
