Milestones

Today I reached another milestone in life. Today I am 60 years old. And I find it comforting, joyous and a true accomplishment. When I think back on some of the things that should have killed me in my youth and realize I survived, I am even more overjoyed to be celebrating this age. For some reason, to me, being 60 is much more fun than turning 50. 60 is such a ROUND number. Kinda flows off the tongue. 50 sounds so harsh. As will 70. It's those odd numbers that seem cruel. LOL. But maybe by the time I reach 70.....I will be as overjoyed to have made that milestone as I am about this one.
I have no regrets....well, maybe some, but I wouldn't change a thing...okay, maybe a couple....but as my precious daughter points out to me....."yesterdays made me who I am today" and I am happy with the me I have become.
And for that.....I am having a joyous day of birth. 60 ROCKS. Because I am out of THAT generation. Groovy.
