Today I turned 57, I did the math 60-57=3. Three years and I'll be 60? OMG! Why do I feel like I'm in my thirties? I don't want to even say the number out loud.

So, that's why it's healthy to practice "Mindfulness." I don't have to worry about 3 years from now, just take it one day at a time.

But what's going on with my body? What happened to my waistline? What's happening with all the dental work I have to get done? Why does it take me an hour to come to full consciousness and that's with 2 cups of coffee?

It would just be nice to talk to others who are going through the same issues and concerns. I have much to be grateful for...no major medical issues, still able to walk fast, do yoga, and other physical activities. But I've never been married and I wonder if I'll ever be attractive enough now for someone to want to date me or if I'll end up alone all my life.

I feel rather selfish worrying about things others might find trivial. But the birthday today sort of knocked me for a loop.
