Age of an Eagle

Dear Dad .....

Age of an Eagle

Today I turned 54 years old.... and yeah, I'm ok with it!  So many women fret about their age, and all the things that come along for the ride -- extra pounds, wrinkles, the way your body doesn't function the same way it used to --- but for the most part, I don't moan about my age.  It is what it is, and I can't change it, nor can I wish it be something else.  I never even fudge about the number, because what's the point?

With all the hard work and exercise I've done, I opted for some portion control and had a double chocolate fudge cupcake, much like the one pictured here.  I should have taken my own picture -- but I scarfed it down before I could think about!  And yes... it was heavenly!!!!!   (If I'd bought an actual cake, I'm sure I would have eaten the whole thing! hahaha)

Otherwise, it was just an ordinary day for me.  Work was busy, then I hit the gym for my 2 miles, and headed home for a crunchy chilled salad.  (When it’s hot, cooking just doesn't interest me!)   I've had a few phone calls from friends and family with Happy Wishes -- always real nice to hear from everyone, so thanks to all of you!!

The old age of an eagle

is better than the youth of a sparrow.
