Born on an even year !

Well it is finally here, my birthday. I turn 58 today at exactly 11:33 pm...note how important the time is , but when you are a woman starring at 60, all of a sudden time seems to be zipping by.
Now for some that are starting to get a little long in the tooth, a terrible saying....a birthday can be disturbing...but being born on a even year 1950, gives an advantage , depending on how one looks at it. Every New Year, I am reminded of my age, so I have always just taken on my new age, so today I have been 58 since January 1st. I think this started when I was small, all I wanted is to be older, and after so many years , has become a habit . I am now considering maybe I should change this, because for some reason, facing sixty seems older than I personally can wrap their mind around......we will see in two years....30, 40, even 50,didn't phase all , but sixty...please.... sounds pretty old to me. My husband turned 60 two days ago, and it doesn't seem to bother him...but face it men live in their own worlds and think they are a great catch till the lid slams shut, and they hear dirt...but women have a harder time of it. No matter how vane you don't think you are, there is always that little voice that says...woooooh, when standing in bright light and looking into a mirror... that is why it is so important to have other assets to offer the world, such as a good sense of humor, talent, the ability to laugh at yourself...this last one is key...
I feel very lucky myself, to have made a career choice that makes me happy, a good marriage and fairly good health. Of course there are the aches and pains after a nights sleep, it eludes me, how you will wake up sift and sore some mornings ...Bottom line...I think when 2009 come along, I am just going to stay 58 till July rolls around...why , I am in no hurry to get that older, I want to stick around a till they come and drag me off...everyday is a gift, true, but without wrinkles, gray, hair and glasses, might be novel...lol...I have always told myself that when I reach 60, I can relax, go gray naturally, and not worry about looks...who am I kidding, as a woman you want to make the best of what you have till the very end.....so I plan to find really old woman, Friends that will consider me a child...that's the ticket....just kidding...........
fyi...in the photo I am three..or four ..it all depends...
