It's the best decade so far, maybe the best of all, but I'm lookin forward to breaking new ground in my 70's, which are not that far off.<BR/><BR/>Being 60 sounds ominous, but when you get past that thought, life goes on and you realize you're old enough to do lots of things you wouldn't have done before. Let's face it, it's just a number. Everybody I know loves being in their sixties, and now I'm going to count you in that group.Mary Loishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01515655542270431289noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6049626897935912366.post-26900930173641967962008-02-25T12:58:00.000-05:002008-02-25T12:58:00.000-05:00Thanks, Judy.

Funny, when I was a kid, fifty seemed old. <BR/><BR/>One thought that always makes me feel better: All my friends, family, etc are aging at the same rate. So, it's not like I am doing this alone.<BR/><BR/>I have come to the conclusion that having a clean house is not the most important thing in my day. Let the party begin! Here's to a happy and healthy future. JudyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
