aging "gracefully"
I can see little gray hairs. Not a lot, a couple, and they catch the light just right in the bathroom so I can see them. I thought they were blonde at first (was born blonde and hair changed to brown when I moved up from the south to the north).
Awkwardness- getting gray hairs but still getting zits. Really?
That and sometimes I do look in the mirror, and in the corner of my eye, I can see my dad's face in the reflection, what I remember him looking like when I was growing up.
Other than that, this sense of planning for the future, checking retirement accounts/401K, realizing I've "owned" my home for 8 years now, seeing my parents age, visiting my aunt in assisted living.
