I write with the belief to both inspire and challenge the human experience, welcoming criticism, for there is no person on earth who fails to intrigue me, and thereby touches my soul in some significant way :~)

I Haven't Run Away...
Tomorrow I turn 60. This is so saddening, yet, so exciting at the same time! I will be camping with my husband, my mother-in-law (seriously) and my little cocker -- for 3 days and nights in the Arapaho National Forest at 9350 feet, just north of Black Hawk, Colorado. One of the evenings, we'll be celebrating 2 of our birthdays at Seasons' Buffet in The Lodge Casino...
Happy (belated) Birthday, Kathy. Don't be saddened by turning 60. These could be great years for you. Think about how much you know now, and much more there is to learn.
My 60s were some of the best days of my life. I was teaching at the University of Illinois, then retired and moved to KY where I started a small business (The Aleksander House B&B) when I was 64. I will be 81 October 9th and I'm healthy, happy, and doing what I've always wanted to do; writing 5-6 hours a day.
I think of the 60's as a new turn in life...that's what's exciting about it. What's so saddening about that, is to realize I really am past the half way mark. I have so much enjoyed all the adventures and learning thus far, that I would love for it to continue another 50+ years!
Nonetheless, as my manner is, I'll milk it for everything it's worth! :~))

Thanks for the encouragement, Nancy.
