So in 12 days I turn the big 60. I am saying it out loud to remind myself. Do I feel 60? No!. If I had to guess, what number I would attribute to myself mentally, it would probably be 42. One might ask how I arrived at that number and there are a number of factors that entered into the equation. I am not a kid in my 20's sowing wild oats and wondering if I payed the power bill. I am not the young adult chasing kids and stress for breakfast. I am not a 40 year old woman busy connecting with high school chums for drinks on Friday. I am a bit past that by still liking to go out, still liking to try new things, and still forgetting that I am not 20 by lifting things that I shouldn't. Any activity pursued the day prior is certainly felt the day after. Physically, I do not resemble the actresses and models who somehow manage to to look like they are 20 on their 70th birthday. I have earned each and every wrinkle.I have also earned the love of a fantastic family. So truly, it is all a numbers game, so let's eat cake.
