First and foremost, thank you for ALL the birthday wishes via cards, text, emails, phone calls, and of course FB. When you are in your twenties, you never think it could ever happen to you… you become a “Senior Citizen.” Well, I am officially a 65yo Senior Citizen. So… show some respect for the age!!!!
Morning bed head.
I walk Gus, my adorable fur baby.
I workout.
I take my prescription drugs, day and night. It seems like every time I go to a doctor they want to add something new to my regimen. 😂.
I have cataract surgery coming up in a few weeks. The good news is that I will not have to wear glasses with the exception of at night for driving only.
I had my eyebrows micro bladed as they no longer are showing up on my face.
I have lots of wrinkles. Those are my “life well lived” lines. I am keeping them, FOREVER!
I love sitting in my mushroom chair to play on my iPad, or read, or face time with my kids and grandkids.
I still have my eternal companion, Mark. I love taking vacations with him. I love making him laugh, a LOT. I love finding new series to watch with him and finish it out as soon as possible. I can’t handle all the cliff hangers. I even sometimes go to the “spoilers” to know what is going to happen! I love our time together, it is always a fun place to be.
I am going to start serving at the Red Cliffs Temple for one shift a week. I look forward to serving there.
My life, thus far, has been filled with incredible joy as well as heartbreak. I have learned to enjoy the fresh air and the beautiful moments that lie within the mountain tops of life, my children, my grandchildren, my family. And yet, I have learned to cope with the disappointments in life and the tragic loss of loved ones as I have journeyed through the valleys of death. I have mourned those who have departed this life, those whom I dearly love. And, I have especially mourned the loss of my Zach.
When we reach this “Senior Citizen” age, we simply do not know how much time we have left on this Earth. I will try my best to be kind, gracious, loving, and continue to enjoy this life. Goals. I always need to have goals and work on them. After all, I am a “work in progress,” even at 65.
