Had to laugh so I wouldn't cry

I HAD to write this somewhere!!  Blogging is journaling, so this one's for me.
So I am reading the news off the internet when a local story out of Utah caught my eye.

Woman, 60, dead in a crash with truck in Iron County

My first thought was, poor old woman.  I'm sure she lived a good life.  Then it hit me.  I AM 60!  My life hasn't been long and I sure don't want it to be over!  There is way too much stuff I still want to do.  I feel like life is just beginning.  We are planning for retirement in a couple of years and can't wait to start living!!  Isn't this what we have been doing so far; working hard, raising children, and saving money so we could LIVE!?  Honestly, 60 is just a number.  (But I still scare myself when I look in the mirror.  Who is that old woman?)

Oh Nancy, you are the youngest 60-year-old that I know! I love that you follow all of our lives through blogs and facebook. It's true that things are really put into perspective when something like that happens. Love you!
