Sexy at 60?
I'm off to Auvillar on Friday, God willing and the volcano don't run high! To Auvillar, that adorable village, where last year I was so lonely (until my students arrived), and wrote so hard! Blue Fifth Review has just posted a poem from last May, a personal essay, and a couple of photos. Can one still walk with Eros at 60? The words have no problem doing so! Check them out!

Thanks, Dear Julie!
Taking your words to heart!
Sexy is more of a mind thing - n'est-ce pas?
So, keep your mind nimble above all else. Ruth :)
The mind is nimble!
It's my low back that's less so--
All cheers to you, Sweetheart!
Maryilyn,
both your prose and poetry surely answer the question:) You'd have created your own volcano if your appearance on this planet had been timed with Baudelaire's.
Jewish ladies must know the wisdom about old chickens and the best broth! Anyway 60 is the new 40, I've heard tell.
One of my fridge magnets bears this legend: Youth is a gift of nature, age a work of art.
Have a wonderful and rewarding time in Auvillar.

Thanks, Rosy! I'll remember those quotes...
Especially "60 is the new 40"! Thanks for that! And for the travel wishes--
love, Marilyn
Sexy At Almost 62
I was definately sexy at sixty. Now am closing in on 62, sure hope to stay sexy.
I think the perfume you wear is that of confidence. Think it and be it. And sometimes I have to fake my confidence (not faking the other, just the confidence part.) Being single again at almost 62 (after 25 years of no complaints with a handsome husband) and dating again one must be confident. Or at least have a margarita!
I wish I was going with you. Sounds like a wonderful experience. You are beautiful inside and out. Enjoy!
You look fabulous, darling!
I wish you were coming, too--I love your spirit! I'll remember your advice.
And by the way, I'm one year older than you! xoxo
Can one still walk with Eros at 60?
Yes.
Mazel Tov! And you look terrific. Though it isn't ever how you look that Eros cares about.
Godspeed.
~Harrison
You rock, too! You're gorgeous--
Eros cares about how we feel, yes? Still, I think I'll keep going to Aveda!
!!
I think Eros cares about how he feels when he's with you. (or she). Aveda is good! By the way "Baudelaire is my boyfriend" keeps swimming around in my head. Love it. ~H
Thanks so much!
Kind words go a long way--
Rock on, sister spirit! Marilyn

This is very heartening. I am in my 50's and trying to cope with age issues, physical and psychological.
Thanks,
Abha
I'm delighted that it's heartening!
Yes, we need to wrap ourselves in good feelings about the changes--(which may also involve a few trips to the salon!)
I'm with you all the way! All good wishes, Marilyn
