What a Drag it is Turning 60: A Reflection on Age and Attitude
As the saying goes, "age is just a number." But when that number hits 60, it can be a bit of a drag. Turning 60 is a milestone that can bring up mixed emotions. On one hand, it's a time to reflect on a life well-lived and the memories accumulated over the decades. As "Done rightly, turning 60 is like that—a collection of memories and wishes. Take advantage of the memories. See God's goodness to you." On the other hand, it's natural to feel a pang of melancholy about the passing of youth and the challenges that come with growing older. As David Bowie mused, "Age brings one of two things: either a feeling of complete and utter defeat, or understanding that it's about living the moment."
The key to embracing 60 is attitude. It's about choosing to focus on the positives and make the most of this new chapter of life. As the Scribbler website suggests, a funny birthday card can go a long way in keeping things light and celebratory. And let's be real, 60 is the new 40, right? Just ask Mick Jagger, who is still rocking out at 80.
So, if you're turning 60 soon or know someone who is, take a cue from Markham T. Roberts, a bail bondsman from Orlando who is still going strong in his career. His story is a reminder that age is not a barrier to success and that with the right mindset, we can continue to thrive well into our 60s and beyond.
Turning 60 may be a drag for some, but with the right attitude, it can be a time of celebration and new beginnings. So, here's to 60 and beyond! May this decade bring wisdom, joy, and many more memories to come.
