a milestone?

I turned 70 today and it absolutely blows my mind. Not because I’m old, or what some in society consider old, but because I’m looking back at everything I’ve done since my twenties and I can’t really say that I thought it would turn out like this!

I still work although sometimes I miss doing shows, teaching, you know all that stuff that Scorpios like doing because it puts them front and center on stage. It’s kind of the thing that we do! But I’m comfortable in where I’m at and I thought, a long time ago, that I would be slowing down but it doesn’t seem to be working out that way. Mom worked until she was 80 so I have big shoes to fill.

looking back at an old post I did in August I have decided to finish what I started back then during this next week off, my first since the year 2000. It’s been a rough year and I have gone back and forth from doing to not doing what needs to be done. So my new year starts November 1st. Getting back to being comfortable in my skin, spending more time with Princess who even now demands attention while I talk into my phone! Every time I talk into my phone whether it’s a call or something like this, she seems to think that she needs to be involved in the conversation! Creating new outfits that a lot of people will probably think are WAy too young for my age but it’s me. I’m going back to working out every morning or evening depending on my schedule. I’m going back to eating what I need to eat to keep me healthy. And I’m not going to feel guilty about treating myself.

I’m going to listen to the dreams I have almost nightly, of me and Mom running dungeons and me spending my nights looking for her and learn to let that go. Not forgetting just accepting.

I’ve met, and done hair on, so many fabulous people. Yeah I’m talking about you. Thank you. Thank you for accepting me and all my craziness. Thank you for listening to my stories even though some of them may have been repeated. Thank you for taking care of me when I needed it. When things seem dark every day, you brighten my life. Thank you for lecturing me when I needed it. Barring any sort of apocalypse I’ll be around for a long time.

love to all of you
