Half Century

I will be 50 on December 15th. Added to the Thanksgiving, Black Friday, My 50th Birthday and Christmas is my daughter Linzy's 32nd Birthday on Dec 1, and my trip to Texas Dec 17 -26. It's going to be a full month. I have nothing planned for my 50th. I don't know what my family or friends have planned if anything. I was one of those people who couldn't wait to get old. I never conformed to what the young people around me were. I am not volumptuous, or especially stylish, I can usually take men or leave them, I was never a party animal, I never identified with any TV or music character or emulated any of them. What I did know was that all the old people I knew didn't give a damn what they wore, didn't care if they gained a few pounds and did what they damn well pleased. THAT'S what I wanted and I couldn't wait to get old to have it. Now I have it and it's WONDERFUL! I own my own home (or will in 7 years and 3 months), I don't owe anything on my cars, furniture, electronics, have one credit card which I owe nothing on, I have two cute dogs, two cute daughters, four cute grandkids, my health is relatively good, I feel great (except for my shoulder which is healing) I'm 20 pounds overweight and don't care, I wear mens pajamas to bed and don't care, I don't wear any makeup most of the time and don't care. What more could I want?
