Stepping into 2012

I start 2012 in my 60th year!  Pretty much a milestone in anyone’s life.  I used to think 60 was old, but I don’t feel old!  I still enjoy life and look forward to life’s events.  I admit I don’t bend as easily as I used to and certain parts of my body tend to ache at times, but in general, I’m in here kicking.  I am thankful that my family is still here, my parents, my siblings, my children and grandchild and that we enjoy not a wealthy life, but we have what we need. 

Part of me fears the future.  What will happen this year? Hopefully, good things.  I try to keep in mind that no matter what, today is the first day of the rest of my life.  I have the opportunity to make changes for the good.

I hope 60's not old because I'm halfway between it and the big 50. I enjoyed your youthful post.

Thanks Beth! Like I said, I don't feel old. When I was young, 60 was old, but I prefer to think of it as middle age now :)

Patsy,Age is just a state of mind and if you have your loved ones with you, you are rocking. I lost my father when I was 45 years old and I feel a 100 now :( He left me on my birthday, on January 8th. His second death anniversary is approaching, life is not fair.
enjoyed reading your post, happy new year to you.
