That s...LOL I so refuse to go down without a fight. That said, time to take my nap - I gave up on beauty sleep years ago.<br /><br />I was talking to my mom and referred to a 70ish year old woman as old and my mom says well she is over a decade younger than me so what would you call me? I should have said active or aged well but no - I went for the umm half dead? <br /><br />All was good though because my mom truly is young at heart and stays as active as she can. My dad also. <br /><br />Ok, it sort of annoys me when I get the senor discount automatically. It slams me with reality when my self image was stuck in my 20's.<br />I still have not "grown up". I hope I always allow the child in me to run wild in my mind.kmilyunhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09759054972109846390noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31359766.post-5796391146072515832010-08-24T12:38:56.865-07:002010-08-24T12:38:56.865-07:00One of my close pals is ten years younger than I. ...One of my close pals is ten years younger than I. The first time I referred to myself as middle-aged she was horrified and said, "Don't say that about yourself!"<br /><br />As someone who didn't have or raise kids, I think it's easier to unintentionally hold on to the illusion of being young. There aren't the milestone of little Janie/Johnnie to remind you.<br /><br />My 78 year-old mom is white-haired and weathered from the Colorado sun. She says she still thinks she's a young girl inside and wonders who that person in the mirror is. Denial runs deep.Bibliotekarenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06896112760553996504noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31359766.post-62669534048960798822010-08-23T19:04:31.756-07:002010-08-23T19:04:31.756-07:00I remember the first time someone called me ma'...I remember the first time someone called me ma'am. I looked behind me, no one there. I made like De Niro in Taxi Driver..."You talkin to me?"<br />And yes...she was talking to me *sigh*. I don't really mind getting old, beats the alternative doesn't it!<br />Cheers,<br />KarenKarenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01051732856820479687noreply@blogger.com
