The light side of 60

Turning 60 wow who’d a figured it would happen to me, well here is the scoop; reconnecting on face book with people you never even new in High School, doctor appointments, aches and pains in parts of your body that you never felt before and things you should be feeling, but don’t.

Parents and aunts and uncles are all gone to a place in the sky, memories creping in at weird moments, night visions and looking for a more comfortable bed, with the hope of sleeping thru a least one third of the night. And where are those grandkids? Seems like everyone has them, along with a husband of some sort, why give up now, hm.

Having hardly any time and the time you do have gives you more time to think about what the heck have I been doing with my life and where do those plans go?

The upside is doing new things that are easy and planning the second half of your life, maybe a move to a college town like the internet says, hmm, more youth around you take a class in something, and get a job in a book store or the college post office.

There is always a friend to go meet for a drink, hoping this time her margarita won’t land in my purse again. As she says the same old story, why am I so fat, just cause I’m start eating huge meals at 11am and continue on with more meals and eating in 5 star places 3 times a day. Hopefully, I can talk her into a cheap pizza and cheap wine, since I didn’t get a huge inheritance.
