The older I get, the more I realize...

I'm getting better and better all the time. Like fine, slowly aged wine.

The older I get the more I realize.....

That it takes me longer to find the missing pair of glasses that were sitting on the top of my head, and was there from the get go...
That I did check the locks on the door 3 times already.
That I am thankful that my coffee pot turns itself off as I rushed off to work.
That my cell phone can tell me who's calling because the fonts on it are to small for me to see.
That I walk in the store grab something I like and mentally weigh the option of Do I want it? Or do I need it?? and leave empty handed.

it could be worse...you could be like my dad many years ago when he had the entire household searching for his teeth for over an hour before my mother realized they were in his mouth...

Life is way too short so choose your battles wisely because some things are just not worth it...

The older I get the more I realize.....
I realize that my bathroom counter is more cluttered with lotions and creme's.
I realize that I may need to add another medicine cabinet because the first one is filled with muscle ache creme's and antibiotic skin cremes.
I realize that the one pesky chin hair that I had now has friends joining in and thinks they can have a party!
I realize that the alarm clock is really my friend and that I so do like it when I don't have to wear a watch because I want to forget about time...

the older I get the longer it takes me to take my medicines in the AM...in fact, it takes longer than fixing my cup of coffee and THAT use to be the priority

and speaking of coffee, the older I get the less Caffeine I can have and I am now down to decaf all the time..INCLUDING my (pause.....) DIET COKE is CAFFEINE FREE!

the older I get the more grey I have and the less time I want to fuss over it. I have embraced it, let it grow out and I am heralded by those around me as a woman of courage...but...none would do it too. So I am silver on my own and let me tell you, the older I get, the more respect I get as a silver femme...I wouldnt dye my hair again for anything!

the older I get, the more tolerant I am of assholes. I also get to swear when I want to. I tend to regard assholes with the calm I use to deal with irrational tantruming children. I wait for their storm to get over and then pick up where I left off....not allowing their behavior mark my life in any way...

the older I get, the more I realize what mortality is...and not caring if I get to play another day in the sun. Rather I care if what I left behind was in sand or brick. And to who I left it behind....

the older I get the more I realize a size 10 is not me. I have known this for awhile but as the years embrace me, I know it even better

the older I get the more I realize the value of a good life. Not good as in dying with the most toys. Good as in believing what I have, good and bad, is about me and my correlation to the world.

the older I get the more I know I was a happy resident here.

the older I get the more I know I want to extend my stay...day by day..

The older I get the more I realize that I do not like winter. Yeah snow is great - around Christmas. The cold is bearable - if I have someone to snuggle up with. And I know I sound bitchy because weatherwise winter hasn't been as brutal for me as it has been for some others - but I am so tired of winter right now.
