Today I begin to enjoy my last week of being in my 50's. I am trying to decide what to do. Should I wear a tube top one more time or maybe wear some hip-huggers? I have thought about a tatoo or maybe re-pierce my ears again. I used to love to dress up...maybe I'll wear one of my cocktail dresses and heels and go out to lunch. I just realized, that I am becoming a senior once again...I remember being a senior in high school. Doesn't seem like that long ago. I went to a concert the other night. They played all the current songs that you hear on the radio, but they also played music from when I was a teenager. It was awsome to see the young people singing along. It made me feel young again and I hope it makes the young people realize that us old farts, aren't so old after all. I keep telling myself....age is just a number, attitude is what counts. I don't feel like I am 60, but then what should 60 feel like? I remember when I turned 50, I thought that was so old. I can remember saying these words, "50 is nifty, but 60 will suck". I've decided to say, "60 is sexy." Now that I have rediscovered my "inner goddess", maybe I can pull it off. I honestly never thought I would get old...isn't that ridiculous? I just always thought I would be the way I always was. I have been one way for at least 30 yrs. now, so I guess I better get used to being the way I am now. I am grateful that I am healthy and I am thankful that I am celebrating my 60th. Growing old is not guaranteed....it is a privledge. If you look at it like that, maybe I will wear my tube top and hip huggers and sing a little Three Dog Night.
