Trying to figure out what 60 years old looks like?

So, I was driving down the highway in my convertible the other day with my sunglasses on and visor. The sun and cool breeze made the ride glorious. I looked into the rear view mirror and
started thinking about my age as I was driving. I honestly wondered if there was a mistake and I'm not really 60 years old. Of course, that's not the case so I wondered what 60 years old felt like? I remember while teaching Sunday school at church, a friend of mine turned 60 years old. I was early 50's then and really thought she looked old. She got cranky and didn't smile much and I thought "well, I've got several years until that time and we might not even be here by then".

I needed to rethink my age. Do I need to give up my convertible? Stop riding the motorcycle? Walking/skipping (note I do not mention running) with the two yorkies? Playing with the grandchildren? Going to dinner with our friends and enjoying a glass or two of wine? The thought came to me that I needed a darker hair color. I went to Lou and said "I know you'll have a difficult time adjusting to my decision, but I want the hair color that I had in high school" I showed him the color on the palate and he gently, and I mean gently said "Carol, that is too dark, your skin is pale, you will look awful". Well, I thought about it for a moment and said....I still want to try it. I think it will match my eyebrows and I will look uniform. So.....Lou gave me the color I asked for. I went home, Glenn took one look at me and after 42 years of marriage knew how to respond. "Your hair looks different, hon"...."I think I like it"....

Several days went by and friends did a double take. But when I started doing the double take every morning when I looked in the mirror, I thought, this isn't how I should wear 60. Five days later after washing my hair with Dawn dish detergent twice a day, I called Lou and asked for help. After he finished laughing he told me to come over and he would do what he could do.

The highlights look great and it will continue to lighten....I still have my visor and sunglasses and it's supposed to be a great weekend for riding. I still haven't gotten the fit for 60 years old. I sure don't feel like I'm 60 but I know that I am thankful and grateful to my Lord and Savior for giving me 60 years of life, every day waking up with air to breathe and the ability to be active for the day. My Lord gave me strength, wisdom, character and a deep love for my family and friends. By the way, He gave me children, 4 beautiful children with many grandchildren to bless me every day of my life. Most importantly, He gave me my best friend, soul mate, motorcycle buddy, convertible dude and enduring and endearing husband that any woman could only dream about. I guess that's the new look of 60. I was thinking of leather chaps?
