I am sitting here listening to my dryer beeping at me telling me to come and remove the towels I was drying. I will get to it soon. The sun is out right now and it is looking very nice outside my window. The temperature out there is 44 and that is so unusual for this time of year. I am not complaining though. I would be happy it it never got winter like but I know it is inevitable that it will happen. I heard that some snow flurries might occur north of us tonight so we know it will head in this direction soon. Tomorrow is my husband's birthday. We are both in shock at the age he will be. He never expected to be this old and I am only a few years behind him so my day is coming. As I age I am constantly surprised at how I don't feel as old as I actually am. I only realize my actual age when I look in the mirror and realize I am not the person I once was. It is interesting how I have changed though as I've grown older. When I was younger I was very particular about my appearance. I would always have my makeup on first thing in the morning and never go out of the house with out that done. I was up and dressed most days shortly after my day was started too. Now days unless I am leaving the house I only put cream on my face and some days it is noon before I am out of my "jammies". I think more on comfort in the clothing line than fashion, I like quiet times more than busy times. Good company is more important than working. Life has just slowed down. Finally I am seeing what is important to worry about and what isn't. I am older and maybe not as quick and strong but you know what? I am happier and know the importance of faith, love, and happiness. It has been a a good year and I am looking forward to another wonderful year.
Wishing your hubby a Happy Birthday.
ReplyDeleteOne time when I was younger I asked my father something about being and feeling older.
He said he always felt about 19 inside and was shocked to see the old fellow looking back at him.
I think it might be the same for everyone and the shock that the body will no longer do what it was would is odd for us.
I hope your new year will be better than the last one too.
You and I have both found out what is important in life as we have gotten older Lois. I am the same way as you. There are some days that I don't get out of my "jammies" until noon if I'm not going any where and then I might just get back into them right after dinner again to get comfortable for the evening of TV watching or maybe just reading. I just love an evening when Terry and I just sit around and both of us have a good book and we are both sitting there reading. I guess we are getting old. Our grand kids asked us once if that was all we did was read all the time as they said ever time they stopped over, we were reading. I took that as a compliment. Well, Happy New Year Lois, enjoy it any way you want to, your way. Hugs.
