Getting old for me just happened overnight. I have aching joints, I can’t walk completely upright in the morning, I had to get glasses last year, and the other day I swear I almost yelled at some kids to “get off my lawn!”.
Yesterday at the grocery store I went through the self check with a bottle of wine. When I scanned the wine the screen came up with “ID verification needed”. I just turned to the kid who was working the machine and pointed to my face. He laughed and cleared it. I can’t remember when I stopped getting carded, but I know I was still getting carded in my 30’s. Now I just have to point to my face. (Sigh)
Whoever said that 40 is the new 20 doesn’t live in my tired body.
Ah, to be young again!

Welcome to my world -- but there must be benefits. No one thinks I'm pregnant just because I'm heavy anymore!
I have stylish glasses.
I have learned to like myself more when I look back and see what I have accomplished!
You are NOT old.
