If ONE more person says to me in that cute-sing- songy voice, "Oh 60 is the new 40, girl- you look GREAT!" I will scream! Interesting enough, every last person who says that condescending but well intended line, is usually skating by in their 30's and 40's and has no clue how daunting it is to turn the proverbial corner into the last inning of life.
Yep. I'll be 60 this month. But that in and of itself is not the only event in my life that is scaring the crap out of me. I am also starting a new career in a new city in a world of corporate "30=somethings" at a time when most people are winding down their careers and looking forward to pina coladas on the beach.
After successfully raising 6 kids for a career, I decided to venture forward and try the real estate biz as a new endeavor. I realized that the small town that I had resided in for the last 25 years with my children was not the best location for this industry so I moved my little self to Las Vegas! Go big or go home is obviously MY motto! This is a new life with new rules and I look forward to this adventure with a bit of trepidation, a bit of excitement and a great deal of anxiety.
Sit back, strap yourself in and enjoy the ride with me!
Can't wait to hear more of your musings! Sixty isn't THAT bad!
