Ok darlin' this piece is loaded with perfectly placed life-reflecting tidbits as you turn 65. So enjoyed ALL OF IT! What is it about this age marker that does that to us? Is the trigger a sort of age stigma tied to federal bennies eligibility? Well, whatever, I'm glad it got you to writing about it.
So here you are on the cusp of completing 65- me having moved on, off of it, during the last two years. Making the very most of it - "not wanting things, but wanting to do things" to paraphrase you. But also being reminded every day that it's a marker in every sense of that word. Green Beans, indeed!
Big virtual hug your way.
PS Of course your preference is for "french style."
Thanks for getting there ahead of me and reporting back with such elan!! I try to tell my friends who are 60 plus but not here yet that no matter how not " different" one actually feels. everything feels different. Sending big love your way!!!
