Today is my birthday and I realize that for many this would be a bit traumatic. You see, today I am 60 years old. I often say (laughing) that I never thought I would live this long and that's very true. For what ever reason, that doesn't matter now, I have spent much of my life in self destruct mode. I had no intention of getting out of my teens alive and much to the amazement of many, I did.
And now I not only have survived 6 decades but I am relatively content with my life. I am blessed to still have my parents and although they have health issues they are alive. My children and grandchildren are healthy. They are my joys.
I don't own a big fancy house but I have a roof over my head. I didn't buy any steaks when I went to the store today but made 2 chicken breasts feed 3 of us fajitas. I don't have a checking account, savings account or credit card. Yes, it would be nice to have more money since I put my last $7.00 in my gas tank but I will make it.
I had calls and e cards from family and friends today who remembered and took the time to let me know they cared.
I didn't get everything done today that I intended but I got a good start. Tomorrow will be another day and another chance.
Today I am content with who I am; fat and graying. I am broke but not broken. I am making jewelry, painting, throwing pots or singing.......I'm sixty! WOO-HOO!
