A MILESTONE

So,  today I changed the blog header.......Ten years ago, I spent the day dissolved in misery at the thought of growing older and reaching a major milestone.    I dreaded the next major birthday and altho the thought of turning 60 was daunting, I could not imagine what 70 would be like.  
The last 10 years brought unimaginable changes in our lives........a life changing traumatic event, leaving the working world behind, moving to a RETIREMENT Community...... All were unexpected and unplanned.    And they all turned out just fine and we have a full and healthy life, filled with special friends and new adventures.     We have each other and this is our 50th year of marriage and our 55th year of being together.    We feel relatively " current " in the changing world and we are active and healthy and vibrant and involved.    We probably look our age with wrinkles and sags and joints that sometimes creak and complain.  We are truly blessed with the most wonderful family.....from our 3 talented and successful sons, to their accomplished wives and wonderful mothers to our almost perfect, attractive and smart grand kids  (they really are all of that! ).....            
We don't know what the next decade will  bring but I'm sure  it will offer challenging and exciting  adventures that we can't imagine......  We go forth with anticipation ..... Life is good and we growYOUNGER EVERY DAY......
