Well it had to happen. I was born in 1949 so it was inevitable - I couldn't avoid turning 60 this year. How did this happen? When I turned 55, it bothered me.......but didn't depress me to the same degree. Now I do have to acknowledge that I really don't feel 60. I've been told by many people that I don't look 60 - don't act 60 and I definitely don't want to be 60. I've been denying my impending birthday in many ways both large and small. I have trouble remembering to take advantage of the senior discount at restaurants. I'm not counting the days until I retire. I enjoy the challenge of working and don't want to give that up.
So, this weekend I went on a vacation to Key West with some friends. We had a great time. The son of one of my co-workers lives in Key West and he showed around to all the local haunts. We went on a sunset cruise. It was fantastic. Key West is a magical place. Everyone is exactly what they want to be there and I admire that in people. The only thing that could have made this better was sharing it with a lover/soul mate.
So........I am again jumping into the pursuit of a lover, friend, soul mate. But this time I've over 60 years old - as hard as that is for me to believe that simple fact.
Wish me luck!
