2 months and counting

No , not till Christmas...officially 58 on 2/28/2012.  2 years till 60...times flies when your having fun.
Note to self:  Start Diet- lose 50 pounds by Bday-sign up for a weight training class or Pilates..

Oh, well ...its a start- the skies are the limit

The Big O

got on line with Oprah today , signed up for her Life time classes.  I think it will fit in well with my goals for a sound mind and body for 60 and beyond.
I will take all the guidance I can get!

Butterflies too damn delicate

I read recently that  Butterflies remind us that we are always evolving, moving towards change and new opportunities. (nice quote..... huh ? sure.... )  

 My experience in the business world is that ageing does not bring much opportunity. The wisdom  of the ageing does not appear to be  transitioned or received graciously . Capturing the pearls  of experience and circling it with the ambition of the young should be a focus of acknowledgement with a dignified transition, not hidden to avoid an EEOC charge....what a delicate balance.  Respecting the offerings of all ages in today's Society seems to  escapes us.  Or.....maybe it was never there and I just didn't notice it until I hit 58......

Lesson Learned : Native Indians had it right and we came in and destroyed it....I will remain optimistic and make my own opportunities.

Going Home- Lesson Learned -Life can be good in the 80's too!

Moms waiting to be 90...looks pretty good for 88 huh? Enjoying Great Granddaughter , both of them play pretty good

This tells it all about Life...needed to hear this today

Mam? who me?

I was called "mam" 3 times today...I hate that... that's for  moms, teachers, "the elderly"  oh no ...surely that's not happening.  Oh well, she was just 18, and..I guess I started it ....I did call her " Honey".  In the South that's short  for "little girl or boy....Lesson Learned:  Respect all at any age..and call us by our names.

Use it or Loose it !

No truer words have ever been written.  Got on the floor tonight to put together a simple puzzle with my Grandson; took forever to get down there , getting comfortable? forget about it.  Glad  it was a a kids puzzle......flexibility ....gotta have it....Put Yoga on the list....
