A reflective 60 year old

I think Gladys said it all in her song:

I've had my share,
Of life's ups and downs,
but fates been kind,
the downs have been few,
I guess you could say,
I've been lucky,
Or I guess you could say,
That it's all because of you.
If anyone, should ever write, my life story,
for whatever reason there might be,
you'd be there,
between each line of pain and glory,
cos your the best thing that ever happened to me,
Oh your the best thing that ever happened to me.
There have been times,
when times were hard,
but always somehow I made it, I made it through,
But for every moment that I've been hurtin',
there's been a moment, that I've spent.....
Oh just loving you,
If anyone should ever write my life story,
for whatever, for whatever reason there might be,
you'd be there, between each line of pain and glory,
Cos your the best thing that ever happened to me,
Oh your the best thing that ever happened to me,
don't you know, your the best thing....
Oh that ever happened,
to me.

So really as I do reflect on being 60 yes it's about personal achievements and those I inherited on my life journey and those I met and many I said goodbye to but most of all it is about those I have dear and near to me and not personal possessions, fame or even infamy! Today will be a celebration and I will be raising my glass to 60 years of life! Long may it be so, although our neighbour Elaine (97 years young) told us yesterday that after reaching 60 the years just roll by! Did like to say that 60 is the new age 40.
