That Special Day – October 5th

Up early this morning, checked to make sure

All systems were a go, slid my slippers on

And shuffled to the kitchen to make my coffee

sitting in my favorite chair

Waiting for the sun to rise,  I’m ready to

Celebrate…..after all, it’s my birthday!!!

I wonder what my mom was thinking about me

that early morning (they say around 6am)

I guess I was eager even then to start this thing

Called life. The weather clear, temperature somewhere

Between 57 and 69 degrees. Crisp beautiful

Fall day.

Walked pass the scale or should I say

scales (there’s one in every room). Not even

going to check today.

Definitely no running.

There will be plenty of time

Tomorrow for fitness and pain and eating right.

Let today be a pain-free, guilt-free day.

Five Guys – Double cheeseburger with onions, mayo,

Ketchup and pickles – topped off with

French fries – YUMMY!!!

I might even have a real Pepsi today –

No diet stuff.  After all today is my

Birthday

Shopping on the menu – a new pair of shoes maybe?

Just want to have fun today – nothing serious. I want

To laugh too much and eat too much and take

Several naps during the day.

Can’t know what this new life year has in

Store for me

Just trying to be ready, Looking to be that

Kinder, gentler soul

Forever searching to be that sexy, slender, sixty something senior

So I guess tomorrow I better get started because I have

A long road ahead of me.  But today, I’m ready to celebrate!!!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME!!!
