I'm determined to be ready! A lot more ready than it seems I was for 59!
I'm not sure why but things have kind of snuck up on me. I don't know why I suddenly feel very mortal, but there's no other description for it. And while I get frustrated a bit with the aches and pains, and slowing down part that comes with aging, that's not what I mean . I refer specifically to the knowledge that I only have so much time left.
And somehow in the last few weeks that has become abundantly, emotionally clear!
It has left me in a bit of a funk, but quite frankly, after some brooding, I'm happy about it.
I need to make some changes in my life, and this feeling has already motivated me to initiate them.
Don't get me wrong. At least outwardly, they aren't significant changes. It's more about attitude.
I believe that I have earned the right to spend the next 20 years happily, and I'm gonna start making that a priority. I need to stop worrying.....period!
And while the lead up to 59 has been a bit stressful, the day itself was beautiful. Presents from my grandchildren before I even got out of bed, and believe it or not, a cake!
A very special home made Kylie cake!
Beauty eh!? It was too good to eat!!
And the rest of my day was beautiful as well. Thanks Roo.
I decided to take the first day of my 60th year off from training. I may push things a bit tomorrow, just to see if my progress is genuine. Apparently the sun's gonna shine
