Today I Am 59.

Tomorrow,I shall be 60.

To be exact, it was at 12:03AM,July 19.1949,I entered this world.
My mother almost didn't make it to the delivery table,I was in such a rush to enter this world.What was I in such a rush for?Did I know what was in store for me?Did I know the generation I was about to become a member of?Did I know how the world was going to change in my lifetime?
Today,I am 59.
Tomorrow,I shall be 60.
Would I change anything?Probably not.I figure I did everything the first time around,because I wanted to.Even if I could go back,I'd probably do everything the same,all over again.It was fun then;it would probably still be fun,again.

But,today,I am 59.

Tomorrow,I shall be 60.

Two years from collecting Social Security.Five years from Medicare.Will any of that still exist?

But,today,I am 59.

Tomorrow,I shall be 60.

I have seen Vietnam.I have protested against that war.I have seen Woodstock.I have seen man walk on the moon.I have seen John Kennedy,Robert Kennedy,and Martin Luther King assassinated.I have seen Elvis,rock 'roll,swivel his hips,and die,and,most recently,the death of Michael Jackson(God,I loved MoTown!!!).I remember the first time The Beatles were on the Ed Sullivan show.I remember when John Lennon died.I have seen the rise of,hopefully,women's rights.I have seen the birth of the computer generation.I have become computer literate.I even have a Facebook page,for crying out loud.I have a blog,too!I have seen the Tampa Bay Buccaneers win a Super Bowl(now,who would've ever believed they'd see that?).The Tampa Bay Rays in the World Series,too(even harder to believe,I know).Did my parents think a plane would crash into the World Trade Center?Did my parents foresee any of that,when I was in such a rush to enter this world?

Today I am 59.

Tomorrow,I shall be 60.

I have been married twice.(Note to whomever-never marry your best friend.They may be your bestest friend,ever,but you shouldn't marry that person.You can never have enough bestest friends,in this world.If you marry them,sad to say,they're not your best friends anymore.)Tthe second time around has been a learning experience.We have our ups and downs(more ups than downs,thankfully),and we have weathered many major storms.We are still here,today.

Today,I am 59.

Tomorrow,I shall be 60.

I have given birth to the two bestest men/cubs ever!I love them both to death,and they make me so proud.I would lay my life on the line for those two,even though they are,now,adults.I love them to death!

Today,I am 59.

Tomorrow,I shall be 60.

What will tomorrow bring?Will I feel old?Will I feel different?

God,I hope not.Right now,as I write this,I feel,maybe 35........ok,36.

Why should I feel any different tomorrow?I certainly don't plan on that.

I do have plans.......Things to do........

But for today,I am 59!

Tomorrow,I shall be 60.

Bring it on,baby!!!
