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.

Thank you Dari. I still find it hard to believe I'm this old. I don't feel old. I feel better these days than I had in years, now that the arthritis and psoriasis are in remission. And btw, Dari, if the guest of honor is still there, you're not late to the party - you're just fashionable.

So even I can be fashionable for once. ;)

It now occurred to me that you are only three years younger than my mother (well, it was a time of early marriages), and I can't think of her as "old".

Just keep feeling young! :)
