Two years ago Turning 60 years of age makes you think of years gone by. I'm no teen, no youngster either, midlife crises left just a sigh Today I've joined a special group, I'm an elderly now you know So I'm getting discount charges everywhere I want to go Turning 60 is a pleasure, can't describe it otherwise All my limbs are getting stiffly, but one has to pay a prize Getting older seemed so far yet, but you get there fast enough Looking back I got my share of joyful sorrow and all that stuff Turning 60 years of age makes you think of years ahead Getting paid for doing nothing is something that makes me glad And they say that older people have the wisdom in their mind But I can't say if that's true though Because my body left my spirit way behind ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Today December 7, 2006 Can't say it's feeling differently, now that I'm sixty two My body is aging many years, my mind only a few Too many things are interesting, to let them lay around I'm glad that many years ago, such lovely friends I've found I may not be around that much, but you are in my heart Thanks for giving me your love, how's that for a birthday start? I've in my mind to come and visit United States again But as I said, I am real busy, therefor I don't know when BUT I WILL HUG YOU ONCE MORE SOME DAY  Like scattered leaves...my words will flow |

Happy birthday Titia...They always say we are only as old as we feel and I say they should get rid of that saying  ...I didn't like turning 55 but thought I would get those discounts back then... they changed it now to 62 and probably when I reach that age they will change it again so I will always be chasing that discount You look great anyway..and I too would love another gathering before it gets too hard to travel..  and have a happy birthday sending hugs to Mom too.M |

 Titia, I'm 61, and right behind you. Seems now family fills my days. There's no time for getting old As each year presents another phase. Oh, but how they grow and change, Yes, it could make me feel so old. Still I have to smile as my mirror reflects Just a few strands of silver in all that gold. |

Titia I'm a babe in arms compared to you old thing but no-one else could have the charms to make the angels sing Kepping busy is a fact I know it is your way but take some time to sleep and act up - on this special day. Heppy Birthday! Many more a good commitee can decimate communication. |

Thank you for all the best wishes a 62 year girl could get I had storm and slashing rain outside, but candle lights, burning stoves and a sip of wine inside. Couldn't have been a better day. Like scattered leaves...my words will flow |

Does that,"...only as old as you feel" thing apply to having your 2nd childhood? I've had days I felt 140 and others when I feel younger than my 72 years. You're still a youngster, Tita! With your beautiful attitude, I'm sure you'll never grow "old." Belated Happy Birthday. May this be a year of beautiful memories. Rae |
