I'm older than I've ever been, and now I'm even older. I turned sixty-five today. It’s quite a milestone; one not everyone can expect to achieve. As of today, I’m eligible for Medicare. I’m also eligible for a lot of lovely senior discounts, if only I remember to ask for them. If there’s a downside to being sixty-five, it’s that EVERYTHING hurts, all the time. I could take something for it, but it will undoubtedly cause heartburn, which also hurts. The upside is definitely grandchildren. I absolutely love living close enough to all of them that I see them all, nearly every day. And it’s great to watch the amazing people their parents have become. As a person who’s survived to the age of sixty-five, I’ve a pretty good chance of seeing another two decades. So, with any luck, I’ll also get to see the amazing people my grandkids will be.
