There's not much mileage conversationally in angst-ing over aging, I find. It's irrelevant to the young and gets no sympathy from people further down the path. But I can write it in my own blog for Pete's sake can't I?! I'm approaching this milestone with a mixture of shock (looking in the mirror) and awe (not having expected to get this far, coming from a very dodgy gene pool) and the predictable resolve to live a healthier life, be a nicer person etc etc while covertly reaching for a wine glass. Nothing new here.
So YES, we do want to extend our lease thank you, and I took a walk around in the sunshine to think about things and be grateful for the approach of both another decade and another year here.
So good to see a post ... congrats on the big 6-0 .... and another year with great architecture ... in more ways than one ... :))
ReplyDeleteThanks, Teresa! I'm catching up on your beautiful posts too.
Delete60 is a great milestone...and you are looking fabulous ! Mine is also approaching ( 6 months time) and I'm planning a huge celebration. It's great to reach it, as the alternative is not good !! How wonderful to extend your lease in such a great place. jx
ReplyDeleteYou too, Janice, and I couldn't agree more.... aiming to live as long as possible!!!
