Today is my birthday and I turn 59 - a number for me - as I don't know what 59 should be.
I remember what 59 was like for my aunts and my grandmother; but, I am not those women. I exercise, I eat right, I buy tailored clothing and jewelry. Nothing that my aunts or grandmother did. It was a different generation and for them 59 was old - they were looking forward to retirement and not doing much more with their lives.
That is not for me - I want to continue to have a successful and rewarding career, to travel and appreciate different countries, cultures and cuisine. To be there for special events in my nephew's lives.
All of this is possible - continue to just look at 59 as a number and not have it define you as an individual by society's standards.
