80 is the "New" 60

Grandma had her 80th. Birthday party. It was so fun. You would not believe how many people were there and what a nice celebration. She really looked so cute. She had on the cutest flowered blazer, and darling pants. She really looked vogue had cute hair-do. And all the people there were styling too, not just Grandma. I looked around the room . There were people from all the different stages of Grandma's life. How cool is that? She had friends from childhood, she has friends from Nursing school, and then the friends that we all knew growing up the Kirk Rd, clan. You know we all make friends over the years, and it really takes effort to keep up with your friends. For me to actually witness a person that has done that and celebrate her life was an ah-ha! Moment.
Especially girlfriends. I found something on the internet about sisters and I thought of all the women in my life, and what a difference they have all made in the person that I am.
Here were all these 80 year olds. And they all looked pretty hip to me. Again this gives me hope. I have already given Brianne the order to make sure I have cute clothes,nice hair cut and no facial hair.
Also I , and my girlfriends have discussed finding a nursing home that will have cocktail hour and sell designer bags at a discount.
When I talk about sisters, I do mean sisters literally, but also sisters as,girlfriends, sisters-in-laws, mothers,daughters,grandmothers, nieces, aunties,and cousins. We are all there for each other. It could be a phone call, a helping hand, a laugh or a cry. We are able to get through hardships with their help and celebrations on the happiest day only are only better because you are sharing the joy with them.So to all the wonderful ladies in my life, thanks! And for all those men that understand how important it is for us to have that "girl time" also Thanks!
So if 80 is the new 60. Then 70 is the new 50 that makes me 30 something. I LOVE IT!I LOVE IT! I LOVE IT!
