New Year, New Decade, so why is the only 'old' thing in this equation me??

When I was a much younger girl, I once looked at how far into the 21st century I would live.  Like all youngsters, I imagined I'd live to be at least one hundred, so that made it 2061 as my last year, possibly.

I look at it a little differently now.  I spend the first half of my life in the last half of the 20th century. I'll spend the last half of my life in the first half of the 21st century.  When I look back at all that happened during the life spans of my parents and what's happened in the world in the 49 years I've been here so far, I'm both excited and apprehensive to see what else is going to come down the pike!

Happy New Year, my beloveds.  I wish you health, peace and more happiness and laughter in 2010!
