I noticed the date today sort of accidentally. I was doing the survey online for Walgreen's. The one on the receipt that you do and can win 3,000 instantly or some kind of money my memory fails me all the details. But, while I was doing the survey that I never win, I noticed the date. Then I noticed that in just 20 days I will be celebrating another birthday. Then a funny thing happened the song "Ease on Down the Road" from the movie "The Wiz" just popped into my sometimes uncluttered mind. I love that movie. I started sort of humming in a low tone. At least I thought it was low. My son asked what that song was. I told him. He looked at me with his big blueish eyes and shrugged his shoulders and said okay. In knew he could care less. His 9 year old mind was just curious as usual.
So, then I thought in a way I am easing down the road of life. Last year I turned an uneventful 50. 50 came with no fanfare. No party really. No big old game with the two candles on top 5 and the 0. There were no surprise parties. It was more or less just another day and another grey hair sprouting from my head overnight. It was memorial day and I did buy myself some ribs and Turkey, ground turkey for turkey burgers. I got myself a little gift. A pair of funky little earrings that I envisioned myself wearing with my hot pink tank top. I thought they were cool.
I wore them on my birthday last year and my hot pink tank top and black jeans and blue sneakers.
I celebrated myself. Celebrated my life. I have had trials, tribulations, heartache, pain and a lot of things in the middle but I am still here survived it all. Now, a new year is coming. I am easing on down the road to 51. Hopefully the road will he easier or at least a yellow brick road. :-)
