Thirty-Five Smirty-Five

Yip. Yesterday was the day. I'm half-way to dead.

Actually since my grandma is well into her 80s I guess I may have a few good years left in me.

On my 35th birthday I learned I have arthritis in my hand. I already had it in my back. I'm old.

But to prove to myself I can still move I played tennis with my husband and had to do it in the 97 degree heat just to show I could.

I bought a couple of pairs of pants and yes, they have an elastic waist.

I didn't get on the scale on my birthday. And no one can make me.

Really though, I look back on the last 35 years and I can't be more thankful for my life. I have three beautiful children and a wonderful husband (who bought me great presents!). Great friends and God who loves me even on my worst day.

Happy Birthday! I hope you enjoyed your day, you deserve it. I think in your case the old saying about "you're only as old as you act" applies to you. Young at heart and spirit - you go girl!
