I just turned 55... 16 seemed like yesterday. I love being in my 50's except for: the sagging skin, the ache in my bones, the morning stiffness, the stress of being unemployed and over 50... just a few minor inconveniences that all seem pretty insignificant when baby Reese gives me an unsolicited smile, or O (Oria) walks in to the room and takes center stage... or when Chi sends Grandma a love note. Theyare awesome... it's a fair trade - suffering the side effects of aging for the privilege of having grandchildren.
