?????? Even writing that sentence brings me up short.....where did the time go? How can that even be possible? Who is that white haired woman in the bathroom mirror, or glancing at me from a store window as I walk down the sidewalk? I do a double-take almost every time I see her.
Turning 71 is not a big milestone birthday.....but somehow "creeping" into my seventies just seems incredible. I remind myself everyday that I am healthy, mostly everyday happy, fortunate and enjoying my life in the moment. But can I really be "in my seventies"?????
November 24, 1946 - November 24, 2017.....I guess I can't avoid the truth.
Ah well....as my son-in-law said to me yesterday, "Think of it as the first anniversary celebrating your 70th birthday." It took me a minute to catch on.....but OK....that is another way to do the math. So 70 is in the rear view mirror.....now to enjoy 71!
I agree, where does all the time go each day. I’m right behind you and will be 70 next July and I’m actually I’m okay with it! Letting hair go white and I take a second look in the mirror and wonder who is that lady? But in the end I’m grateful for good health aside from arthritis and I can say I’m still here and enjoying life. So, here is to us who have made it this far and look forward to many more years to come.
