Got some decorations up for the holidays so the place looks a bit more cheery. I wasn't feeling all that well, probably exhaustion from all this baking, so had a little help setting up the tree. Gawd, used to be I could do it all with energy to spare. I must be getting old.
Isn't it funny how things go....I mean, when we're young we burn the candle at both ends and it hardly effects us. As we get older, oy! Things start to stiffen and creak like an old building. Oh well. I really need to get out and walk a bit more, get some cardio exercise going. That should help with the stamina at any rate.
Even though I walk with crutches, I walk. Got to. These gams have to carry me 'til I don't need carrying no more....keeping them in shape is essential. And then there's the circulation thing. Got to keep that tuned up, too. Just like a favorite car, gotta keep the body going or it won't go!
Today was a full day, working and baking then sitting back and enjoying the fruits of our labor. Very satisfying....very good.
So for today, Fifty Five Is The New Getting Physical....a little bit every day keeps me going.
When I was heading toward my Double Nickel Birthday in April 2009, the age 55 seems to be a lot of things. In this blog I will chronicle my thoughts about 55 Is The New, for the year beginning December 2009 because...well...that's when I felt like starting the blog. The entries will include that important day, my actual Fifty-Fifth birthday on April 14, 2010 and will continue for my entire fifty fifth year, concluding on April 14, 2011.

Welcome To Fifty Five Is The New!
Hello out there!
What's it to you, turning the age of Fifty-five? You don't have to be turning it tomorrow, you could have already turned that corner a while back. That part doesn't matter so much.
While it's important what one feels, what matters most of all that one feels, that one feels anything at all.
So, as an exercise in self-examination and a way of getting over an incredible writer's block, I submit this blog to the World Wide Web, and I submit myself to a bit of mirror gazing.
Inspired by the movie "Julie & Julia," I will blog for one year, which will include my turning fifty-five, and see what I find.
Who knows? Maybe fifty-five will be something fantastic...like the New Me.
