Age matters - does it ****!!!

I am 21 but feel about 26. Thinking about the fact that I'm only 21 makes me feel like a baby.

I am 51 and think I still think of myself as a young mom around 30 or so.

But, the body is starting to age and I sure do feel it sometimes.

I am smiling at those of you who give your age as ___ and "say soon to be" ___. I stopped doing that a long time ago! I prefer to say "I am 59 but used to be 58." LOL! The worst part about growing older is finding out that you can't do as much as you used to do without paying for it the next day with a new ache or pain. Most days I feel just fine although, like David, I can feel that my knees are aging faster than the rest of my body.

I'm 43 and sometimes my body feels 43 or older but when I look at friends my same age I think I look younger...like 35. I go out and do things people my age don't do..rock concerts from new bands, dancing etc.
I was at a Denny's having breakfast with my mom a while ago..she's 63 but acts/looks 80 plus. I saw this young girl..maybe 14, come in with ALOT of older people in wheelchairs, walkers etc. I gathered she was the grandaughter/grandniece etc..related..not just doing service.
She looked so bored and she was wearing a Green Day teeshirt..they had just been at a HUGE show the weekend before. I went to the counter to pay for our meal and asked her if she'd been to the show. Her face just lighted up and I told her "that's the best show you'll ever see" ..she said to me ...HOW DO YOU KNOW ABOUT GREENDAY???!!!!
I just laughed and said, honey, I was punk before you were born. LOL..I actually know the lead singer who is a sweetheart and she was blown away..
It was a ying and yang..she thought I was too old to possibly know HER band but she also thought it was so kewl I could relate to her..
