Old age...

Well...here it is. I officially joined the ranks of the hopelessly old. Today's my 60th birthday. I didn't really think turning 60 would make me old all of a sudden but it seems everyone who knows I've reached this milestone wants to know how it feels to be old. Bless their cotton-pickin' little hearts. I'm trying to handle this in a mature way (get it? MATURE?), because I have a younger cousin, Mike, who I've always tried to mentor to and be a good example. Someday he will turn 60 too and I want him to handle it with all the grace and style I'm showing today. Learn well Mike. You only have 3 more days. My life so far has been absolutely wonderful. I wouldn't change anything at all. It's as near to perfect as we're allowed on this planet. I hope the next 60 years will be as great as the first. For the second half of my life I'm thinking about getting some exercise and maybe lose some weight...I crack myself up sometimes. Thank you all for the kind comments, cards, and reassurances that I don't look a day over 59. I love you all...let's go eat cake!!
