1. People who “hate getting old” are idiots. Every year is a privilege. Let me tell you, callow miserabilists: getting to 60 feels like a triumph. I have no idea how I made it this far, but I am very grateful…

Laughing…let’s look forward to it, and not rush it – how’s that? 🙂
the perfect solution !!!

thanks!
I enjoyed this so much! I am closing in on that big “6-0.”
