Its took me a few days to get over my 60th birthday, there were quite a few meals out with dysentery family members plus a couple of days out. I still haven't bought my main present, I wanted something really special with it being my 60th, I'm usually not bothered what I get. I did see a lovely bracelet but they only had 71/2in length whilst I need an 8in, I asked the assistant if they had larger, she said thats the usual size, my wrist is slightly larger, they said they could possibly put in a request to have them make one but didn't know how long it would take. I decided not to bother. I don't understand why they don't make bigger, they lost a Β£500 sale.
I don't know what I was expecting to happen when I turned 60 nothing happened I didn't change well apart from afew thoughts. My life hasn't been a good one with being abused and bullied my whole school life from parents and so called friends. I admit I've always been a little negative about most things then I started to think about turning 60 and the younger ones who didn't. I now tell myself You have reached 60 even though I have been through really hard times I'm still here and I'm still fighting. And that's what I will continue to do. Bad things are still happening but I'm better at handling them by moving on and enjoying what time I have left.
This was Me, Hubby and my daughter going back a good 24 years, seems like a lifetime ago.
I have hubby with me most of the time apart from a few hours when he manages a few rounds at Golf, it's been 6 months since he had his hip replaced, hes doing amazing. He will soon be going in to get his knee replaced, both hips and both knees need replacing, all down to him working on a construction site for over 35 years. We are spending a lot of time together, I thought we would end up picking fault with each other but things are running pretty smoothly, we don't argue the house is peaceful with me, hubby and my daughter getting along really well. We have been making plans and doing more together.
With us both being disabled at the moment we have to find things to keep is occupied so me, hubby and my daughter are starting to hand raise a couple of turtles, These are Florida Cooter Turtles, they like being touched where as our 3 Musk Turtles would rather we left them alone. The Musk turtles are fun to watch.
Once the Florida Turtles get used to us being close we will start the hand rearing, they sit on the basking shelf for quite some time but as soon as get close they will jummp off back in to the water. We are getting closer to them abs they are getting used the noises in the house. I would like a pond in my side garden for when these Turtles are big enough, that won't be anytime soon as they supposedly grow 1inch a year then grow up to 9 inches. Hopefully by then they know us really well and don't mind us picking them up.
That's all from me today I'm off to watch the Elvis Movie for the 16th time and will most definitely start to cry when they announce Elvis has died, it gets me every time.
Thank you for visiting, ππ
As we grow older, we learn more about life, and that in this life where you only live once, time is such as precious thing we can't afford to waste. Thus let's get the most out of it while we can.
I totally agree, just a shame it took me 60 years to realise.
