WHEN DID I GET OLD?

When did I get old? Was it when I turned the big 5-0? I feel old and I look old. And I find myself being old.

The other night I was reading and looked at my watch. Oh dear, I must get to the DVD player so I could still watch a couple of episodes of Murder, She Wrote. Yes, MSW! When the show was on TV, I wouldn't watch that "old peoples" show! Now I must be one of those "old people"!

And driving. I drive the speed limit. I use my turn signals. I would rather not drive at night. When did I become an "old" driver? At least I can still see over the steering wheel!

Mah Jongg. I actually want to learn how to play this "old lady" game. My mother wanted to teach me, but no way was I going to play a game my mother and her "old lady" friends played! Now that I am an "old lady" I wanna play! But I don't want to play and have to drive home at night!

Gray hair? I have them. Lot's of them. And I don't care. That has to be a sign of old ladiness...isn't it?

When did I get old? I'll try and nail it down...after watching a few more episodes of Murder, She Wrote.

Until next time...

If you are old, what am I? I never thought about getting older. Leave seems to be so short when you get older. Oh well!!!

My turning point was a few years ago when I was called "Sir" at the store. And I still have a problem when the ask to help push my cart to the parking lot for me. It makes me feel old to say yes...even if I sometimes need the help!

I hope you are well "old" friend :)

Peace B
