Diane, About to turn 71
I felt very depressed on my 70th B Day. I am still working as I tell myself “It keeps me young”…I keep very current, as in fashion,technology, etc. My friends and strangers tell me I look young for my age. I think I really work at it…But the bottom line is how one feels emotionally that counts…We have a lot of history behind us at 70 and have learnt many of life’s lessons the hard way, as well as many happy moments. I think we have to embrace them all and come to a final conclusion. So what is next?? There has to be another “Kick at the cat”
I turn 73 in 15 days, but who’s counting? I am, obviously. Thanks for your post, Diane. I now have a new expression that energizes me: I KNOW there is another “Kick at the cat.” And then another. Now I’m going to look up that term. I never heard it before. It makes my pacifist soul cringe, but it makes my face smile. Giggle, really. Thanks!
