I normally would never post a birthday post on my own birthday. However, this one has caused much pause as I am reminded DAILY from Medicare and Social Security that yes, I am turning 65 years old. Wow, the notifications never stop!
Many of you have already reached this milestone and I honor you! There are some pretty humorous things that happen as you age. I giggle when I think of some of the unexpected "pleasures" of aging.
💩 What's up with HAIR showing up in unexpected places??? This is so strange and unfortunately, very unwanted. I have a pact with close friends that should I become incapacitated, they will come and pluck the unwanted stray hairs!
💩 Um, really? What's up with the temperature swings? All of my life as a younger woman, I stayed cold all of the time. Now, I am a walking furnace! Geeze! Bring on the AC powered UP!
💩 Seriously? Body pain that just randomly shows up! This is no bueno for me. I have enjoyed a lifetime of fitness so these aches and pains are no fun. Getting up and down has certainly become more challenging.
💩 Now this one may not count as a true negative but I am to a point where I don't give a flying flip what others think of me! It is absolutely liberating to just be you. Don't get me wrong, I believe in being polite but, there is a point when you sometimes just need to let the water roll off the duck's back.
💩 Sneezing takes on an entirely new experience. No explanation needed if you are of a certain age. 😳😳😳
Despite all of these and many others, I am truly thankful for each day that I am given. I don't take this life for granted. Live each day with gratitude and resolve. Blessings to you all.
