Signs of Spring

This is my "Zetti" style collage for the TAW challenge this week.

Today is my 60th birthday!  A valley of reflection framed by mountains of gratitude.  I have lost friends already and though I feel and experience the definitive changes taking place in my life- at least I`m here to experience them- the good and the bad.  I feel blessed and more confident than ever despite the normal and annoying results of aging both physically and ....mentally.  Taking it one day at a time is no longer difficult( lol)  and thoughts any further tend to tire me out.  I don`t make resolutions but if there is one thing I want to focus on from here on out is to ENJOY each day. Less worry (last year was difficult) and less expectations- let it be what it will be. Less serious..... more joy!

    I love your zetti, and your thoughts on the new year, Lori. May you let the worries go and find joy in the coming years. Unbelievably, I've had 20 years since I was 60 and contemplating my old age. They've been happy and productive years and I'm still going strong. I wish the same for you!!
