Today is my birthday and so far, it's been pretty nice. The weather is beautiful and I've gotten so many birthday wishes that they made my day. My sister called me last night to wish me an early happy birthday and I got a card from a friend whose been going through a rough time this past year. That was a really nice surprise.
I can't believe that I'm 55, I don't feel that old. I feel like I'm still in my 20s most of the time, until I look in the mirror that is, then it hits me. I'm sure that others feel the same way when they reach certain ages.
Actually I think my 40s were harder to accept than my 50s have been. I hated turning 40. It felt like I was losing my youth. I don't feel that way now. I like to think that I'm not getting older, but rather better.
I used to dread turning 55, that was the age my dad was when he passed away. I'm more confident that I'll live a longer, healthier life now than I was say, a few years ago. Now that I think about it, I guess I have gotten a little wiser.
