If the best days lie ahead, how come I want to go running, screaming back the direction I've come from? Decisions decisions, what to do when you turn Fifty-two! (LOL) loving Hugs to all, Talia aka Popcorn Lady

a year ahead of you. Have a seat. I'm sitting here thinking that it's a long way down so I'm just resting thinking I never thought I would make it this far. Now what do I do? :)

Now you can be sure you're playing with a full deck. :-)

Do everything you wanted to do before you get too old, KID

Happy birthday, and like I used to tell my friends who thought I was nuts racing motorcycles, that when I was seventy years old and sitting a a rocking chair that I wished I had done what I wanted when I was younger, well, I did, Arecee

At 70, sitting in my rocking chair...Oh wait, that was this afternoon on my front porch. Anyway, I thought about my bucket list and reached into my bucket and it was empty. It had been so for a few years now, Motorcycle racing Yep early 70's. Owner/driver of a semi/ Yep, mid 60's. Family, child, office practice in Counseling Psych, lived on my sailboat, Hippie in the 60's in Greenwich Village with assorted chemical enhancements, trained as a chef, Colorado and lived in the mountains, had the love of 4 wonderful woman and (in the late fifties) a wonderful young man. Danced with the Ballet. Transitioned to my real gender/self. Made a place for myself here in our vibrant Lgbt community. Worked my last 4 yrs as my trans-lesbian self in a psychiatric prison facility for men. Yep, bucket's empty. I am one content older woman.And very blessed.

Happy bithyday.

Hope it's a great one.


I wear this crown of thorns
Upon my liar's chair
Full of broken thoughts
I cannot repair

Retirement. The best days of my life?

Not quite, but it sure beats the hell out of middle age, which, looking back, was one long trudge.

In retirement, I have more real friends than I'd had since my 20s, the time in which to pursue my interests, and the pleasure of knowing I don't have to work my butt off. Of course, you do need two important things: your health, which I've had a little problem with recently; and money - so put money into a good pension scheme now.

Look forward to the time when you can retire - it's great.

Best wishes
