I'm sorry, but I almost forgot to thank all my wonderful Cute sisters who sent Birthday wishes my way on June 1st! I've never had so many people wish me a Happy Birthday as there was this year, my 60th! I remember I used to think 60 was old but it doesn't feel older than I felt at 20. I still laugh, love, cry, smile and feel like I did years ago but nowadays the body has more scars, wrinkles and saggy parts than I did then. I like to think of this as another new chapter to my book of living. I have Maurice and my grown sons and a daughter-in-law and two perfect-to-me grandsons. My babies have all flown the coop to various places and now we are thinking of doing things just for us! 60 is going to be a scary adventure, a chapter where we come first but not selfishly, a time to do the things we enjoy with each other and still maintain our seperate passions. Yes, a scary adventure! I like that!

It's just a number Meri! Let's pray there are many more for you to count.

As Francis Bacon said "Age appears best in four things: old wood to burn, old wine to drink, old friends to trust and old authors to read".

So in my mind, grab a good book to read, invite a friend over and sit in front of the fire with a good glass of red (or white) and enjoy life!


Love Chris

Aww, thanks Chris! I have no close friends except for Maurice and he is always close, we don't drink ( too many prescribed meds, and we have no fire place!!! lol I love the sentiment though! Actually, being 60 doesn't bother me but it has made me think that time is getting short so make the most of it while I can. God, love, family and friends mean so much more when you take time to appreciate them and it's time for appreciation!

I remember looking at the 10 year graduates from High School on floats in the homecoming parade and thinking they were old.....28! My how our perceptions change.

I missed your Birthday post, Best wishes til the next!

Yahoo, let the fun begin! And guess what! I used to think 70 was old, but it's not! All in the mind...but SOME days the body doesn't always follow your mind! LOL

You're as young as you feel and as old as you look or is that the other way around?
