I needed to read this this morning. I’m on the other side of 60, and while I feel healthy most of the time, I also feel a sense of urgency I haven’t known before.

Why is it ALWAYS the gums and teeth that go first??

And WHO was the evil person who decided that dental and vision should not be included in our regular health insurance plans???

When I turned 50, it was 4 months shy of the pandemic and everything still seemed possible... the thing is, everything still is.

What's that saying? "When you look around and everything seems dark, check yourself... for you are the light."

I'm probably getting it wrong... but it's something like that. Tag... you're it! xo

I was blessed with excellent teeth but my eyeballs have BETRAYED ME and there's nothing to do but like, baby them and hope for the best. Overall I'm feeling mostly good about 5-0, which is something I never thought I would say/feel/experience. But jeez, some days I still feel like Needy Chicken, from head to toe!
