How the hell did this happen?

It's been a decent day so far. I awoke to a kiss from my husband as he left for court. (Nothing's wrong - the man is an attorney!) The power outage last night was over when I awoke. Physically, nothing hurts. When I came into the sitting room from brushing my teeth, there was a really sweet card from my mother-in-law.

Today it seems, I turned 60.

Mom called last night and we spent nearly half an hour on the phone. I was her first born and listening to her recount her wonder at staring into my once tiny little (unbearded) face and her disbelief that was 60 years ago. It all left me a bit misty-eyed.

I need to get my rear in gear. There are patients to see. We're closing early today to go have a picnic in the park this afternoon, so ciao for now friends. It's a beautiful day out there.
