You know you are getting old when Santa starts looking younger!

...it takes you ages to bend down and pick something up because of the pain in your back/hips/knees, only to find when you finally get down there that, because you're not wearing your reading glasses, you can't see what the hell it is that you've dropped (happened to me at the shop today whilst searching for an earring - and yes, I did swear).

I knew I was getting older when I started needing a list to remember what I was suposed to get at the store.

I used to make a lil grunting sound as i hit the ball in softball due to a bit of strength and power and now i make the same noise due to aches and pains.

I was speaking just yesterday to a friend regarding this very subject and the outcome of it was as follows.

I know I'm getting older because I am making better life choices.

I have developed the ability to say "no," which has proven to be quite difficult for me in the past. Easily swayed to please others, as is my butch nature, even when I knew it was not in my best interest. I now can say "no" and follow through with it, much to the consternation of others.

I've learned how not to sweat the small stuff. Anything other than life, liberty and the pursuit of personal happiness is trivial. So, in that vein, I try to live an easier less complicated life. I don't carry all the "stuff" that accumulates as we go through life.

And lastly, I have learned how to please myself first and foremost.

These lessons have been hard taught and I believe they come with age and experience. I look forward to the discovery of new ideas and new beginnings as I get older and older. I wouldn't trade any of it for all the riches in the world.

I'm proud to be of the "older generation" ~ tolerance has taken a front seat in the way I accept the inevitable ~ Realizing I can't change the world's way of thinking , only pray.~ sharing a smile in a strangers eye. ~ I breath w. contentment from knowing who I am,and stand proud. ~ I chose my battles and don't waste my energy ~ walking away from continous negativity ~ I love alot deeper ~ the best of all ~ u get 1/2 price breakfast's from IHOP..

~ Enjoy the 2nd 1/2 of our lives ~ a ripened fruit holds the sweetest nectar ~
