I'm 58 and have never had more freedom. Kids have left the nest - which means I now have a sewing room as well as some time to use it, I'm still employed, and after a health scare at 50 I decided it was time to do some things to please ME. Have been married for 39 years and have DD 29 and DS 25.

I'm 53 and happy to be here. Starting to grey, but prefer to refer to it as "highlights" in my hair. I too still wonder where the years have gone. No kids, so can't tell the passing of time by their growing up. I read somewhere that life is like a roll of toilet paper...the closer you get to the end, the faster it goes. I'm trying to take more time to savor the days now, as they do seem to fly by.
I'll be married to the same wonderful man 28 years on Valentine's day. awwww, how sweet, huh? We figured this way we'd always remember our anniversary! LOL

I lost my balance about 3 weeks ago and fell down our stairs. I fell about 7 or 8 steps and the wall caught my face and head and shoulder to stop me. At first I wasn't sure what I should do, but I was scared about getting up. I did and I'm fine. Two years ago I had an horrendous accident in my SUV and totaled it by hitting the cement post causing my car to turn a 360 and flipping, landing upside down. I wasn't sure what to do and I have worked in an x-ray dept for almost 40 years. My husband said after the fall, that I would not or could not stand much more and I agree, but when do you have control over accidents. Both these were truly accidents. No talking on the phone while driving , no quilting or reading or texting either. A spider jumped at me, shocked me enough that I jerked the wheel with the one hand as the other batted the spider off me. Walking up the stairs, watching what I was doing, but losing my balance, because since the accident my balance has been off, so what do you do? I am proud of my age, I feel young and I love to live, quilt, love my children and grandchildren, not to mention the rest of my family, but you just never know when it is going to be your time. I try to remember that when I get aggravated about something or feel like what's the point. But there is a point, you just have to live by your belief and faith and never never stop living and loving. And most importantly never stop quilting even if it looks terrible. :) LOL Beth Please forgive run ons and grammar, but I was writing as it came out of the silly old 59 1/2 yr old brain. Which by the way has had some pretty rough treatment lately. Black eyes :)
