My Fortune:
I received a bag full of fortune cookies for my birthday. Today's draw: "you are only as old as you act."
Woo-hoo! Is that right on?
Today (my actual birthday) I shut down the swamp cooler for the winter and caulked cracks in the stucco. Also shut down the sprinkler system for the winter. Paid bills. Dyed my hair (flavor of the month is Herbal Essence #11G "Amber Shimmer'). Walked the dogs about 2 miles. Went to the office for a couple of hours. Bought two pairs of new shoes. Went out to dinner and a movie - saw "Little Miss Sunshine" and loved it. Bought my first senior ticket for the movies!
Got a birthday greeting email from an old boyfriend of 40 years ago. He writes that he just retired - and suffers the common complaint of the recently retired: that he is busier than ever.
This is what 60 is like. I'm lucky; I'm healthy; I have a home and friends and meaningful work and a creative life and music. Very lucky, indeed.
