Another year, and I have fifty-nine years behind me. Reaching sixty is nowhere as bad as reaching thirty. I remember sitting on a bus, thinking negatively about my following adventure.I remember sitting on a bus, twenty-nine, and thinking negatively about my following adventure.

Although it wasn’t, but I felt aged.

Until I heard a seventy-year-old man talking about what he was going to do that day. Ashamed, I thought to myself, there is nothing to worry about. I had a beautiful little girl and hoped to have a son to complete my family. Mostly because my dad died when I was seventeen, and my dream was to name him Jack. He is twenty-nine in June. Has never really worried about his age.

In May I am taking my GSCE Math exam and I my tutor asked if I would consider the higher level paper, because I got 72/80 in my mock. I’m not sure whether I want to retire, or at least go part time.

Whatever happens, it will be a new adventure.
