I Turned Sixty...

...and the sun still rose.

I got up early this morning just to make sure.

I was blessed to be surrounded by thirteen friends, including my sister-in-law who came from New Mexico, and my mom, for a big birthday party lunch at a local restaurant.  I was showered with flowers and cards and a group gift of a (HUGE) gift certificate for LL Bean, which I fully intend to use up as soon as possible!

When I looked around at the swagger possessed by the wonderful women who came to help me celebrate, aged 67 to 80, I realized that maybe life at 60 won't be that bad at all.

Cheers!
