One of my old friends (if you will excuse the term..LOL) turns 60 this month...at a loss what to send her (she loves 3 hrs away), I made a donation in her honor to Red Cross
I got a very lovely and funny thank you yesterday:

Thanks again for making it seem a whole lot less depressing
I just loved the underlined line!!! I know there are days when it is just a number and days when it is a bother...the other "big" #'s didn't bother me: 40,50.......but in April I turn to big 6-0..and it at least makes me pause and think!
