55 today - where did the years go???

So, today is my 55th birthday.  I spent the day "celebrating" by building a picket frence at my son's house.   All I have left is to build the double gate tomorrow. Lost a lot of  fluids, even though I drank about 1 1/2 gallons of lemonade and water.  It sure was hot and humid out there.

Then this evening, my family came over for a cookout.  Mama, sister, kids, and 4 grandkids - it was a lot of fun watching the grandkids play.

Man -  55 years old today -  I find myself wondering where the years have gone.   Seems like just a couple of years ago that I was turning 25.  Sheeeeeeesssshhh!! Seems that what they say is true - the older ya get the faster time seems to go!!

One thing's for sure though - my WLS is gonna help me be healthier, more active, and happier however many years I have left!!!!!

Thanks to you folks for being here when I started researching WLS - for answering my questions, giving your insight, and for supporting me since my surgery.  I feel like you're sorta an extended family!
 

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!  What is it that they say about turning 55?  Double nickels or something like that... 

Happy B'day!  I know what you mean.  Once you are over 50, it is hard not to think of your life as half over.....BUT....just think what you have done for youself and how good you are going to look when they put you in the ground!.   

I saw from your earlier posts that you have a sense of humor, so I hope you are laughing about the "in the ground" statement. 

Have a great rest of your birthday.

Cathy, you have totally offended me with that "in the ground" remark!!
NOT!!!!  BwaHahahahahaha!!!!  Thanks for the birthday wishes.

Actually, prior to my WLS, I felt more like I was about to turn 95 instead of 55.  Now, instead of feeling like I have one foot in the grave and the other on a banana peel, I feel I have both feet firmly on the ground and ready to reclaim my life - a life that will be worth living again!!

Happy Birthday BamaBob !!!!

Happy Birthday and just think, thanks to your WLS success you will soon be 75 or maybe even 95!!!! (Wait, that means I will be getting older too, OH WELL)LOL You are doing wonderful and wish you many, many, many more birthdays!!!
