Vintage Mint Condition

Reflections upon turning 50:

  • A quick anatomical survey reveals that I still have all of my original parts, sans tonsils.  Were I a car I would be considered "vintage mint condition."


  • I've carried some old-fashioned notions about what this age is like, so it thrills me to report that I still have my hair (and it's still brown) and my all of my teeth (which are, happily, not brown).


  • I am thankful for having a sense of purpose in my life -- make that TWO purposes -- that inspire me to rise before the sun every single day.  (hint:  they eat hay for breakfast)


  • I am lucky to have a lifestyle that demands energy, stamina, creativity, humility, and a sense of humor.  The sturdy wheel barrow and the very supportive husband are also bonuses.


  • I know that I have a fondness for bashing social media, but even I admit that it is so very nice to be in contact with friends I met well over 30 years ago.  And social media has introduced new friends (human and equine) who have brought unthinkable joy to my life.


  • But I still hate cell phones.  They turn some people into boors.  So I'll stay old-fashioned on this one.
