...beginning to think about "60"

Well, I wouldn't be honest if I didn't say that this upcoming birthday is going to be a little bit hard to take.

While my life is wonderful and so full of blessings...this age feels a bit daunting to me.

Sixty!!!??

When did that happen?

I am already seeing and feeling so many changes...physically, emotionally, and every other descriptive word that ends in "ly".

Tonight is the first of a few "celebrations" ahead for me. My wonderful friends are having a dinner in my honor this evening...and, while I am totally looking forward to it and to spending the evening with these special women in my life...my mind keeps going back to the fact that I am the one turning 60.

That being said, I am going to try and embrace this passage and accept the fact that it is just a number (but a high number!! ha ha) and that I have so many wonderful adventures ahead of me.

I loved my horoscope for today:

VIRGO: In these mercurial times, being merely adaptable simply isn't enough. Why be amenable to change when you can fall in love with it? Seek pleasure in the knowledge that everything is becoming something different."

I'm sure that I will have more thoughts on this in the days to come....But, with those words of wisdom from my horoscope today in my head, I am going to try and start my journey into this new and different period of my life with acceptance and joy and love.

But, in the meantime, today I am still only 59.... : )

WHOA!!! That is you in the post(down a few) holding the kidlets? We should all be so lucky to look that amazing at 59(and holding)!

I enjoy your blog but haven't been here in quite a long while. Going through my faves and found it again(and keeping it).
