65 LOOKS ODD TO ME

THIS WEEK INCLUDED TURNING 65....unbelievable.  When I look at the number 65, I blink. AND blink again. A glazed stare comes over me.  Thinking to myself, I'm 65.   Am I really 65?  Seems like yesterday that my folks turned 65.  Thankful to be so old.  It certainly has some challenges.

It's not like having the wind knocked out of me.  It's something else.  Somber.  65.  Blink.  Blink.  

My dear sweet HUBBY asked me what I wanted for my birthday supper and within seconds I said, "SPAGHETTI WITH MEAT SAUCE!"  One of my favorites.  About a month ago I said I wanted a coconut cake for my birthday.

He made a scratch Coconut Cake.  Twas delicious.  
Supper was Spaghetti with Garlic Bread.  
All was greatly appreciated and enjoyed. 
Left-overs as well.  

We watched a movie.  Popcorn and soda to boot.  
Stayed up late and because I can, I will sleep until I naturally wake up for the day after.  
I received a phone call from my Mom with a Birthday card and gift, a dear friend who lives in ALASKA phoned me, my daughter/family sang me Happy Birthday, a Oklahoma son sang to me, well wishes from family and friends, a package in the mail from family, some cards and letter.  My Hubby gave me a lovely card, fixed a super Spaghetti Supper and Coconut Cake, a couple of Downton Abbey Books, turquoise earrings from Arizona.  Overall a very nice BIRTHDAY.  

I will have to work through turning the BIG 65.  One day closer to 66.  Haha and grins.  

I have reached an age I really didn't think I would due to health issues.  HEAVENS...Lord, I thank thee for life and another opportunity to be alive.  Thank you.  THANK YOU.  Thank you.

As I close my eyes to relax, I have to think about what to do next.  What I hope to have as a goal to accomplish.  This year I hope to get healthier by drinking PROTEIN DRINKS and mixing in egg whites.  Walking more and lifting some  l i g h t  weights.  Take more deep breathes and worry less.

Because I can, I have more time to research just about anything I want.  What will that be?  What am I going to do to make HOME a homier place?  Organize items and thin out more.  Paper work thinned out and organized.  Read.  Write.  Draw.  and carry on.  This year I will it that I will sew a yarn tied quilt.  Write a book and create a TV room.  Walk a hundred miles.

1) Quilt
2) Book
3) Create Room
4) Walk hundred miles
5) That's enough.

65 and there's so much more.  
Please LORD, let there be so much more.

Blessings to you,
