Today is my 69th Birthday

Starpolisher · ‎03-10-2010

And for some reason this one is hitting me hard! 😔 30, 40, 50, 60 were no problem but this one keeps saying, next year you'll be 70! 😮 I keep thinking to myself, "What happened to that pretty, young, vibrate woman💃🏽 that could accomplish so much in a day?" Now this tired, Arthritic pain filled, overweight, old lady👵🏼can hardly walk from one end to the other of the new Super Supermarket, without becoming winded! Time seems to have flown by so quickly. Being 69 has made me remember 1969 when I was just 16. Very happy, in love and carefree! Those were such good times for me.🌟I've been very blessed so far. I still have my 93 year old mom, who still lives alone, takes care of herself and I've never seen her hair grey!😅 I have two wonderful sons and two beautiful granddaughters. Other than my Arthritis, which is very painful on a daily basis, I'm in relatively good health and Hey, I woke up this morning to see another day! 🌞 So, I just want to say this little prayer.

Thank you God for gifting me another year of life.🙏🏽 I don't take it for granted. I know I'm lucky.🤗 I'm another year older, wiser and more grateful. I give thanks for my family, 💙💙🎀🎀 my friends, my faith and all the love ❤ that has been given to me and is being given to me!
Amen~
🎂🎈🎉🥂🍾🎊💫

@Starpolisher

Enjoy your day! Seems I was just 31, but the years have passed very quickly. I turned 72 on Halloween!

We are the lucky ones

@Starpolisher Happy birthday.

I was so lucky during my 70's. Until I was 75, I had abused my body by yo-yo dieting and limited exercise so badly that I was a stroke candidate. Then the vascular doctor I went to said doing surgery on me at that time would be just as dangerous as a stroke. He wanted me to eat better and walk more for 6 months and see him again.

The first day I walked, I managed less than 250 steps before I had to stop and breathe. It took months, but I added steps every week and started to choose better eating. I'm now in my 80's and yes, I have some residual issues, but overall I am better by far than I was when I turned 69.

Take advantage of your youth, Stargazer. It's not easy and is unlikely to be a straight uphill battle, but it's possible and worth every bit of improvement you manage for yourself.

@Starpolisher I'm sitting here laughing at myself Some time in my 80's I need to learn not to hit post until I finish a thought. That's what I did in my edit. Sorry.
