Hi sisters,
I don't know where the birthday thread is.
Today I turn 60 years old...the fifties didn't bother me but I have to tell ya that this feels really strange...to be such a big number...sounds so old to me. :-(   
Anyway, it will be over soon...I'm buying myself something and going out to eat before the day is over. I got flowers from my son and daughter in law...how beautiful they are!!
Tell me what your birthdays felt like to you!

Happy happy birthday to you, Linda!!! I hope you have a wonderful great day. 60 sounds like such a great number to me.
When I turned 50 last year I could not stay warm during the winter. And this winter is so much worse. Does it just go downhill from here? I used to love winter but not anymore. And if this is what getting older feels like, I don't know if I like it. I feel like Mrs. T now and want to have my heat up on 85. Good grief! I never thought I would feel this way.
Have a great birthday day.
Kris

Happy Birthday Linda. I will be 41 in a couple of days. It didn't really phase me, but I don't know how 60 will feel. When I found out all the sexy women actors who are 60 it did give me a different impression. 60 has changed over the years. I hope you get yourself a great gift!!
It's all good! |

Happy Birthday Linda! I just turned 14 a few weeks ago, so I don't know how getting old feels, but I do feel a little sad that I'm not exactly a child anymore. Anyways, have a wonderful day, and hope that you enjoy your day as much as I enjoyed mine!
God's Blessings,

Happy Birthday Linda!!! I am 61. I have to be honest and say, I swear every year it just gets nicer. I feel freer and have a lot of fun. Don't sweat the small stuff like I used too. I am playing and having fun!! I was a little funny about turning 60, but then it has just been getting better all the time. So don't give your number age a thought. Just be yourself and enjoy all the new things to come.I think in some ways I am happier than I have ever been. You'll see!!!!

Happy Birthday Linda, When I turned 30 I filed for a divorce to proctect my sons. So that was a hard birthday. When I turned 40 I felt so old and all my friends are 10 years younger than me and their children 7 years older than mine, so it was OK but just a day. When I turned 50 my husband (now) through me a big surprise party. I felt great. I think I know how you feel. I will be 60 in a year & 1/2. But my shoulder has a rotor tear in it. I'm in more discomfort than ever, but I am so thank-ful I am still here. I just wish my body felt as young as my mind thinks I am.
Hope all your days are Sunnydays.

Happy Birthday, Linda! I've got you beat by about 5 months. My Mom always hated getting older, saying "It's not fair." It made me think I'd never complain. She made it to 88. Consider the alrternative of not having had the chance to grow older.
Now after a bout with cancer a few years ago I cherish every day, month and year. I retired a couple of years ago, I think that made me feel older, temporarily, than any number could.
Enjoy your day, enjoy your year.

I hope your birthday was a special one. How nice to get flowers. I'm sure they are especially pretty in the middle of winter.
I turned 50 this last Thursday. I really do believe the old tale that "life gets better as we get older." It has been so true for me. Not that my life was bad before, but I've grown to be a different person and take life differently.
Happy, happy birthday and the best to you this next year!
