Robin Williams says,"Spring is Mother Nature's way of saying Let's Party!"

My irises are blooming, the sun is shining and the wildflowers are in bloom all over Arizona! Life is good!

And since I turn 60 on Friday...I plan to follow the preaching's of that wise Mother!
I don't know about you, but this aging thing has been quite interesting. I used to have some concept of 60 being old. Just doesn't apply! Bub says maybe I will grow up by the time I turn 60 on Friday, but I doubt it.

I can say I am enjoying myself more than ever. Being a Grandma has to be the best title I have earned in all these years. I have made some decisions about what is and what isn't important. People are always trumping things! I have also begun to become a lot more LOW MAINTENANCE!! I have let the color grow out and now have hair that has natural highlights! (and it isn't nearly as grey as I thought it was). A good day is waking up above ground with food in the fridge, gas in the car and a roof over my head with the wherewithal to enjoy the people in my life. "Let's Party" seems like a good theme for not only the week, but for every day.

I don't want to make light of the problems with the housing market, the economy, the war, and global warming. I also know I can only make a difference in certain ways. So, the way I plan to contribute this week is by smiling and attempting to bring smiles to others. It may seem selfish or small, but I have a certainty of belief that it will all turn out if I do the best I can! My birthday wish for you is that you also have many things to be grateful for that you can focus on today and get joy from. Let's leave worry somewhere else and LIVE our best lives today!

And, if you want to come to one of my 2 birthday parties...here's the e-vite

Joeann - Happy birthday. So I take it that's a picture of your daughter in your profile? That picture doesn't look a day over 30. :-)

You're a very well preserved 60! I'm coming up on 58, so I can relate (although my sons are 18 and 21, and I'm a ways yet from grandchildren). I find myself, also, becoming more low maintenance. But I can't bring myself to let my hair grow out.

I'm a firm believer in "do what you can do, and don't worry about what you can't do". Life is good.

 Joeann, Happy Birthday!  I remember thinking 60 was old but it is getting younger day by day.  I hope you have a great day.

I love spring also.  I just did a real estate show of our spring flowers that are now blooming here in the Spring area.  I can't tell you how much I enjoyed driving around taking the pictures.

Joeann - A belated happy Birthday  - over sixty is not over the hill - Age in years is cronoligical and we can do little about that but aging physically is something we have the power to affect. You seem to have very good control over the physical side of aging
