I have been in denial for many years but I cannot avoid the truth any longer. I'm old. I applied for Social Security and will begin getting my pittance next month. Wow. I am old. I just had a birthday and I'm sure that is what has brought about this new pain. No matter how you try to push back the years, wear that new style, grow out your hair, try a new make-up, or color the gray -- your body eventually starts to break down. Its natural. Even desirable in some degree.
And, as Summer would say, Oh well.
Life is really great and I'm not complaining. Way too many blessings to ever complain about a little thing like another birthday. Every one has them (if they are lucky, that is) and if you can count as many well-wishes and cards as I was given, you'd feel fortunate also.
This blog is about nothing in particular but filled with lots of thanks and gratitude for aging and friends.
Wishing all you birthday participants a very Happy one! Embrace it and if you're old enough to be OLD then good on ya! Like my mother-in-law used to say: "It beats the alternative."
