Well guys... today was the day!
Welcome to the Over the Hill Gang! It's FUN in here...you no longer *really* care what anyone thinks... Every green leaf jumps out at you and is special.... The silvery hairs, aches and pains are more like well-earned battle scars...you earned 'em! Actually, my 21st birthday was one of my WORST! i had two babies, was still sick over the delivery of my 2nd one the previous December...tired, broke....I recall thinking, if this is supposed to be a fun birthday, i am going to get a gun and end it now....sucked!
I don't care about the saggy boobs or the crepey skin or the spidery veins in my legs, I DO hate to think, as you allude to, my life is more than half over (most likely, due to my familial death math). You, me, bren in St Louis are all Taureans...anyone else? I'll be 51 next week! Kind of boring, only the zero birthdays count to me. Happy Birthday!
