I’ve tried to stay inspired. And we did get away once. But mostly we stay home. Eating is a big source of my entertainment. It’s the perfect time to try new (caloric) recipes, I reason. I deserve to indulge (a lot), I insist. Nothing soothes like comfort food and excuses. Grandparenthood is a beautiful revelation. You have kids, you know you will never experience that feeling of unconditional love for anyone else, ever, and then it happens all over again. A heart-stoppingly beautiful miracle.

Judy Jahnke: We had a party at the local club for my 60th and then surprised everyone with our Wedding after being together for 17 years. It was the best Birthday ever. A 60 th Birthday should be something fun, exciting and totally you! If you’re planning your own 60 th celebrations (as many of you 59ers are!) or if you’re planning a bash for your younger siblings or friends, here’s some inspiration for you! There is nothing more refreshing than to sincerely forgive somebody. It allows you to get rid of the anger and it frees up your mind. It enables you to allow new better stuff to enter your life. If you keep holding on to the people who treated you disrespectfully because you think they owe you an apology you might use up a lot of your own energy and nobody is helped here. Just forgive them and move on. 5. Also, make peace with yourself There is so much wisdom in books.
