Bigger than turning 50 as a slap in the face about my own mortality, was losing my parents; first one and then seven years later the other. It really hit home then. I guess I still haven't gotten over it.

It's such a relief.<br /><br />60 is even bigger but I'm getting into it now. Life is precious at every age, it surely is. Love to you, friend, lots of love.<br /><br />And yeah about Jesus, hell yeah. You know my mantra these days: It could be worse.

Turning 60 was far worse.

I know exactly how you feel. I watched a PBS show last night called "The Last Tango in Halifax" and I spent the rest of the evening contemplating many "what if" scenarios. Thank goodness I fell asleep after that.Sharonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07645915869786296771noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5123631695572626256.post-44379069583302012612013-09-09T14:04:36.725+01:002013-09-09T14:04:36.725+01:00My bad-tape was running all night.

The one that tells me all the ways in which I have failed, all the bad choices I have made. <br />I am exhausted today. <br />I know exactly what you mean. <br />Ms. Moonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09776404747858099919noreply@blogger.com
