I just can't get over it!

I'm sitting on the cusp of a birthday that will put me in the middle 80's...and I can't bear it...or believe it.



Always living in the present, all my events seemed to be frozen in time. Not being able to imagine Jeff or Paul being men.



Not to be able to acknowledge that I've been living without Allen for 20 long lonely years. Actually truth be told, I've been sequesered in the Peter Pan Syndrome....never wanting to grow up.



My Mother used to sing a song to me...Toyland...toyland...dear little girl and boy land...once you pass the borders, you can ne're return again.



I listened and believed in those lyrics...they came from my Mother's lips.



Well, I found out that life moves on...it's a constantly learning process...and if we refuse to move...we become stagnant.



Now my kids don't want that to happen...so they get me all this high tech stuff...and my friend Virginia just won't let me sit on my laurels...she insists that I keep my blog up to date.



So...I'm doing what is expected of me.



However, I now know that in my heart of hearts...I'm an old lady.



Somebody who also doesn't want to grow old says that today for some reason...we're 10 years younger that our chronical age.



Can that be????? Anyway...financially last year wasn't a very good year for me and a lot of others.

Fannie Mae tricked me....so did General Motors. Again I believed! I followed my greed and instinct...and it got me naught.

So now...I know that nothing is a sure thing....and we just have to roll with the times.

Speaking of which....Jerry Herman wrote a song....The Best of Times Is Now...and I do believe he is right....in fact, I know so. So..this is my wish!
