Celebrate

This year is a phoenomenal milestone in our lives.
The year we turn 60.
We need to celebrate the lives we've lived, celebrate the lives we have yet to live and celebrate each other.
January 17th Vicki McClurg is the first of this year that I know who will leave the 50 somethings behind and enter this new decade.
Linda Visser will join her on January 22.
I think we need to really CELEBRATE-----life in general and each other specfically.
I believe nothing happens by chance. We did not go to SPC by chance. We did not go into nursing by chance.
And most of all we did not meet each other by chance.
We met by divine ordination to be in each others lives for a purpose.Friendship, support, fun ,encouragement, laughter and just being.
Many of us have not seen each other since that June day in 1970 when we marched down the aisle of the Seattle Opera House to receive our diplomas. The memory that stands out most about that day is when the faculty were marching out in the recessional and Mrs Green saluted us , as a class, as she walked by. Today we deserve that salute even more.
We have been given this amazing chance in life to reconnect . Let's take it and run with it, learn where our paths have taken us and celebrate it all. The good ,bad and the ugly.

I encourage you each to send a note, email or call these birthday girls as they become our first official "60's Chicks'!!!!
Several have emailed me their birth dates. Would love to have them all

More later.... Until then Celebrate this day and every day
Hooray for The 60's Chicks

woohoo for the 60's chicks! are you ladies really brave enough to sail away into the blue horizon with my mother in law? And 60? all this time she told us she was 23 and we believed her! Really, she knows how to throw a party and you guys are going to have a great time. Way to go, Beth, getting this blog up. Looks great. Have fun, 60's chicks.
