Birthday Month Life After 60

I want cake!

All I want for my birthday is a simple white birthday cake!

The Scoop

Well gang, I made it through 64 years! I remember in my twenties thinking I would never make it to 40 because I was sure the rapture would happen by then! Ha Ha.

I would report that for sixty years I sailed along fairly cool. Sure, life events rocked my world from time to time but I was healthy of mind and body. But my sixth decade has been challenging and now I know why our grandparents always said aging is not for sissies!

At first, I felt defeated. But my nature is more of a warrior so after a little time I started looking at the bumps in the road as challenges. So, I spend my time researching the best way to live strong and in charge for as long as possible. Then I try to implement that information into my lifestyle.

I would say this past year has been a nonstop shit show of aches and pains and stress and even fear. I am not as in charge of my body and health as I thought. Sometimes it takes months to figure out what is wrong and then months to reverse if not slightly improve the situation.

At the end of the day, I am lucky and grateful and a fighter. I don’t need to live to be 100 but I do need to be independent and self-sufficient.

So, cheers to our sixties! Buckle up, because it’s a wild ride!

My Look

I’m wearing a fabulous white denim skirt (Abercrombie), a summer sweater (Amazon), a pair of clear wedges (Steve Madden) and a white bag (Rebecca Minkoff). I have a red earring in one ear and a white one in the other (Bauble Bar).

I’m wearing my hair up with a clip, loving my bangs that my stylist gave me.
