I'll never~ever~ever give up!

I feel like I'm the luckiest person in the world.
I try to live every day in gratitude for my life
as it is
TODAY,
right now,
in this very minute.
I'm retired at 61 and still paying my bills (barely).
I've been married forever (44 years!)
to the man of my dreams (most days).
My 3 children are all grown,
as happy and as healthy as I could make them.
I finally became a grammy in 2009!
Now we have two little darlins.

Time to get rid of these extra 50 pounds that have crept up on me in the last 20 -30 years of living the good life.

Yes, I love not having all that hair in my face and on my neck.

You could get your hair cut short. You've got a great face!

The counselors don't have much to say with regards to how I respond to it - except to acknowledge that I understand she is upset but that it's not OK to speak to me that way.

Thanks! It was a great weekend. I am still having so much fun with my new haircut. I can do fun stuff with it, or pin it back and be done in 20 seconds. And I love to feel the wind on my head! ;)
