Is 2026 the Year We Start Our “Golden Years”?
Do you step gingerly or fearlessly into the New Year? Though I’ve enjoyed more than a few birthdays of 39 and Holding, I grew up not fearing each birthday, but embracing them.
As a youngster, my elders talked about their “Golden Years.” Well, we now know IF there ever was such a literal era, it disappeared long ago, with hula hoops and beehive hairdos.
However, metaphorically speaking, if we age with perpetual joy in life, every New Year is another Golden Year. Cheers to your New Year 2026!
֎ We Celebrate 39ers ~ And More!
39 and Holding Club is dedicated to all those intrepid souls who have turned 40
years old … and climbing. By this time, we hopefully know a few things about
life, love, and the pursuit of happiness. Not necessarily in that order. So,
c’mon along as we embrace Aging with ATTitude and enjoy life because of
it … or in spite of it … your choice!
This is, of course, your intro only. With age, we must also accept the bodily and intellectual changes that come with it … which can include (if you let yourself) a serene calmness in knowing that we look to every new day as another opportunity and what didn’t get done yesterday, we can work on again today. At least, that's what I keep telling myself.
So, the January article, as is usual of late, will be posted between the 3rd and 10th of the month.
Coming up is of course, mini-horoscopes for Capricorn and Aquarius, along with a few Zodiac notes for all of us, some fun special days for January to pique your interest, our vintage Song of Note, and MORE.
C’mon back soon. I promise you’ll find at least one new item to tickle your New Year fancy.
Happy
UN-Birthday 39ers ~ January 2026 ~ Never Stop Learning!
This one’s for you, kids – Reneé, Erin,
Chris and Joe!
Flaunt your 39er ATT-i-tude 39 & Holding Gifts!

NUTS & BOLTS: And dear readers, I just want you to know that I try my best to create an informative, aesthetically creative article for you each month. However, Blogger is not a professional hosting site—but they’re free through Google. So we’re stuck with their crummy platform that doesn’t work well to manipulate images with writing, especially if you aren’t a techie who knows HTML. Trust me, I’ve tried for years to write articles without gaps between paragraphs and even between sentences. Sigh. Maybe I’ll win the lottery and be able to afford a professional hosting site someday.
LinDee Rochelle is a writer and editor by trade, and author by way of Rock & Roll. She has published two books (of three) in her Blast from Your Past series, available on Amazon: Book 1 (currently eBook only, until updated) – Rock & Roll Radio DJs: The First Five Years 1954-1959; and Book 2 (eBook, print & color!) – Rock & Roll Radio DJs: The Swinging Sixties. Coming soon (eventually) … The Psychedelic Seventies!
