Last week as I was wrapping up my consultation with my Endocrinologist, she asked if there was anything else she could help me with and wished me a Happy Belated Birthday! I appreciated that. I had already gone over all my issues, even though some weren’t in her specialty. (She was quite helpful and caring.) I instinctively said she had helped me and I was grateful for that and every one of those birthdays. They used to bother me after 50, but not now! I am grateful for every day I’m able to function, breathe, walk, see…..enjoy a glass of wine. I feel very fortunate. There’s plenty of time for realism later on. Lol
