So This is 60...



I recently celebrated a milestone birthday, the BIG 60! I've only been in the 60's for about two weeks but it already feels like a new adventure is awaiting me. Thinking back, my 40's were wonderful with major life changes and my 50's were even better! This gives me a reason to believe that the (hopefully) many years ahead will be amazing.

With all that said, I also realize that I have let myself slip in the taking care of myself department. OK, it's not a slip but more of a downward spiral! That's OK because for the first time in years, I feel like I'm getting back on track and back to my old (or younger?) self!

Everyone seems to have a difficult milestone birthday but believe it or not, this wasn't mine. My most difficult birthday was when I turned 30. It was horrible! I had scary thoughts and really wasn't in a good place in my life back then. Plus, that is the year I quit smoking which could have led to some of the emotions. But I quit as a birthday present for myself and I have to say, to this day it was the best gift I ever gave myself!

I had a serious talk with myself while I was walking Berta (adorable picture above) about my plans to do this. I wasn't actually talking out loud, that would have been weird, but quietly in my head. Along with about twenty or so habits I'd like to change, remove, or add, I miss my writing. I'm going back to the way I blogged early on. Sharing tips, adventures, struggles, photography, feelings, thoughts, etc. I'm sure you'll also find a few crafty ideas as well.

If you'd like to follow along (hopefully for the next 50 or so years), I would love that!

  1. Berta is so sweet!! Yorkie? One of my favorite breeds. I'm past 60 by a dozen years and as far as I'm concerned, the years get better & better.

    1. Yes, she's a Yorkie. She was rescued from an Amish puppy mill. She was used for breeding. Unfortunately, there are a lot of them where I live. I definitely am looking forward to the future!

  3. Sheryl, Happy Belated Birthday and I am sure it will be the best now and in the future. Just remember it is only a number and you can do anything you want. I love Berta, we have three mini schnauzers and had kept a yorkie everyday when her mom dropped her off and picked her up for our Doggie Day Care at home. I am so looking forward to your Blog. I am still making your Mug Rugs and Zipper Bags. They are so popular.

  5. Happy belated birthday! I will tell you what is funny...when I turned 50 sort of hit me. Turning 50 didn't bother me till I thought 'I am half a century old!' That made me pause for just a moment...but then I thought still just a number.

    1. It is still just a number! It does make me realize that it's time to take much better care of myself. I promised my granddaughter that I'd buy her prom dress and dance at her wedding. That is several years away!
