Welcome back!

Today is my birthday. I never thought about how I would feel past the age of 25, let alone the age of 50. Well, I made it.

I am alive, basically sane, still opinionated. My hair is not gray, except for a few very small areas. I have had people suggest that I dye my hair to cover my gray. However, I wonder why, I worked hard for my gray I earned it honestly. I do not have any noticeable wrinkles on my face. Lots of laugh lines do show however. Most days I walk around with a smile on my face. I like the look that I get from people when they see the smile. Some just smile back, some actually look at me like I’ve lost it and they wonder why, some look at me as if I am planning the next great bank robbery. (snicker, snort)

The income that my husband and I have is below poverty level, we rent an apartment, we have health problems - so what. WE ARE ALIVE, that alone is reason for smiling.

So, if I am not the only one having a birthday today, as if I wouldn’t be, HAPPY BIRTHDAY !
