I clearly remember my 30th birthday party. I loved being 30. It was a great decade for me. I turned 30 with two degrees under my belt, lots of great friends, exciting fun times and late nights.
I clearly remember turning 50. My sweet friends orchestrated a surprise party for me (at my own house!) with the theme of "I love Ronna" --I was so overwhelmed by their acts of kindness. It was truly a standout moment for me. Well, this year I turned 60. SIXTY. 6.0. When I turned 55, I was so glad to qualify for the discount at the Movie Tavern. But while 60 is a new decade, this year does not bring with it any new perks. You have to be 62 for most senior discounts and 65 to qualify for Medicare so I guess being 60 is like being a Sophomore in High School: you are not the new kid on the block (Freshman) and you can't drive or have your own prom (Junior.) 60 is the "middle child." So, I guess I will just sit and bide my time until 62. I still have great friends and fun times but no longer any late nights. Conclusion: 60 is just being old without any perks.
