(( assignment: tell
us something about yourself in third person ))
She found that facing her 60th birthday was more
of a challenge than she had anticipated:
at 20 –
she didn’t know it yet but in a few short months she would drop out of
university and follow her heart to Colorado,
at 30 –
she had just given birth to her son, one of the greatest gifts she would ever
receive,at 40 – she had married Bob three days before and on her birthday she lay naked on a private beach in Big Sur, drinking champagne – her one and only nude beach experience,
50 –
had found her in a Kansas City hospital’s ICU praying for her father who had
been recessitated seven times after dying on Highway 71 near Harrisonville,
Missouri,
now 60 –
what would it bring? What’s it all about
<Alfie>? What will change? She had been playing with a new hair-do and
had found a most-perfect bobby pin to hold her long hair up off her neck. For several years she had considered getting a
really, really short haircut when she was older; was it time?
What she was ready
for was a relationship. She was really, really ready and had been putting in
requests with the angels of amore. This was her first decade birthday without a
man by her side. Twenty = Colorado
Jessie. Thirty = Steve, 1st
husband. Forty = Bob, husband #2.
Fifty = Victor, ah, sweet Victor, and now Sixty = zilch, da nada, no testosterone in her life,
her bed empty. Would having a man in her
life have made the whole idea more palatable?
Quite frankly, probably it would have, especially a “new” romance. Ah well ……
She drove to Liquor Mart to buy two bottles of champagne for
her birthday garden party. It goes so well with pineapple upside down cake =
sweet pleasures. Thank the goddess, some things will
never change.
Decade Deva’s live on !!
