Sixty and Sexy, How Does She Do It?

Still Sexy at Sixty

Who would have ever thought in a million years that I would be writing about being sexy at sixty, especially when I am going to be talking about me?  I am far from a vain or the conceited type of person; actually, I am the exact opposite.  I always look at the flaws I have, the flaws that I perceive I have.  I never ever have looked at any of the positive sides to me, but that is a topic for another time. 

I am not quite 60 yet, but I am able to now draw on my 401k if I so desire to.  In case you are not aware of how old you need to be before you can draw against your 401k, its 59 ½.  I am exactly 59 ½ as of right now.  In February, I will be turning 60.  It is hard to believe because it feels like just yesterday I turned 50. These last years have been the best years of my life so far.

At 48, I took my daughter and removed us from a very toxic and unhealthy environment.  My ex-husband, my daughter’s father, is an alcoholic and I lived with that for 28 long, grueling, and mostly unhappy years.   I put up with that because I had no self-worth.  I did not know that I was pretty, that I had a great body and a wonderful personality that people loved to be around.  It was the darkest time of my life and while going through it all, I had no idea how to escape the hell.  So many obstacles trapped me.  Financial was a big one.  We owned a house together, and we were in a huge amount of debt.  However, lets fast-forward because this is not about my life with my ex; it is about how I began to realize that I was much bigger than the shadow I made myself out to be around my husband. 

That is when I determined that I was fifty and fabulous, and where the story began. The story gets better from here.  Stayed tuned for the continuation of my story, where I will tell you how you too can get sexier and better every day.
