OLD? Who me?

I have a 44 yr old daughter and 2 granddaughters in college! What a wonderful situation to be in. I'd like to see the youngest graduate from college, he is 4, but chances are that won't happen. But I'm not upset. I also am not afraid. One of these days i will be seeing all those i love who have gone on before me. That includes my Lord God. Who could fuss or be scared of that? When some one asks me how old i am i tell them and am very happy to. I'm not ready to consider the alternative quite yet. I have too much to do in my life. I believe age is something to be looked forward to eagerly. The name of this blog is life and stuff. Well I am a firm believer that life happens. I may not be in the best shape health wise, but i am in very good shape attitude wise. Every day is an adventure and a learning experience. I look forward to waking up in the morning and finding out what life holds for me that day. Some time it is as simple as talking on the phone to some one i care about or love. Other days it is going out with friends and enjoying the conversation sitting around a table. Some times i find out i have a hidden talent, like painting ceramics different from the picture i look at. I found out I'm really not a good line dancer. Here i am at 65 with friends up to 83 yrs young laughing our way through the "Tush Push" Talk about entertaining!!! But we also sit around and brag about our children and grandchildren accomplishments. We hug each other when we meet and call each other names like "sweetie and honey" and say "Bless your heart" when appropriate like real southern ladies. Even though most are transplants from the Northern states. My view of "Damn Yankees" has been changed since spending time with them. Mostly because they have been transformed to southern ladies by the south. Years change us all i think. Our suroundings, our friends, our lives become the sum total of our life experiences. So that makes the yrs piling on well worth the experiences we have. So don't be afraid of getting old, it has many advantages. Well, this old gal is moving on to her next one, so you enjoy and cherish and learn as your life moves forward.
