Hi Friends and Family - I am on a count down to my 60th Birthday and I want to share my thoughts and journey with you. Turning 60 isn't the worst thing to happen but I'm not there yet and I am feeling the pain!

You can choose to not follow me and I will not be offended, but if you join me I think we can not only have some fun but learn a lot about ourselves as we're aging.

Today I went for my annual physical and YEP you guessed it I am a mess :). Overweight, stressed, forgetting things, and allergies are getting to me. So many things wrong but OH so many things right. I don't have high blood pressure, diabeties, ulcers, and many other bad stuff that starts attacking us at this age. Although I am tired a lot, don't sleep as well as I should and my middle keeps expanding and it just might blow at any time.

I am going to take each day of this count down and focus on change.

I am going to change my attitude about things starting with the following:

#1 I've learned that my physical appearance is not on the Top Ten list somewhere. The fact is no one cares how I look but me, isn't that weird?

 #2 The idea that the state of the world's financial crisis is all my fault and I can resolve it if ONLY I would spend more money. This was a big load off my mind and I think I can relax about this one.

#3 That switching to Thong underwear would make me feel sexier. Plus, the fact that my old lady panties are beginning to feel just like thong underwear as they keep riding up my butt, why not join the younger group and try Thongs for awhile...Ummmm Maybe not. I'll just buy a larger size of my grannies!

So that's my thought for now. Following my doctors advise, I am focusing on change. Hope you can commiserate with me. It's so freeing to know that others are going through this age thing. It's so much more fun to do it together.

If I can't be rich, beautiful and young...I'll just make those who are realize that it's only temporary and help them learn how this aging thing works. It's my duty to remind them often and this blogg should keep them up to date.

So share this with your younger friends and children (probably the girls only would be best especially since I plan to talk about girl things like eating chocolate without your husband or boyfriend seeing you, using a minipad to keep your underarm sweat at bay, and one of my favorite tricks, hemeroid medicine for the bags under my eyes). Send me your thoughts your suggestions and any cash you feel would help me pay for the big 60th party I plan for myself. Those who contribute will be invited to attend...those who don't contribute will be invited to host the party and clean up!

God Bless us seniors and watch out as we roller skate right past everyone!
