When I was a teen, I, too, wanted to be the 'young adult'.
Then came 25, which was hard for me, too {my first QUARTER CENTURY was gone}.
Then came 50,and I CELEBRATED!
Now, over 50, I amn happy with my age and here's why:
I am now:
~Old enough to know better,
~young enough to still enjoy it
~Old enough to S L O W down and not have anyone notice
~old enough to not care what people think anymore.
~old enough to get AARP discounts and get "senior' breaks on things
~old enough to have
my elders allow me to call them by their given names instead or "mr." or "mrs."!
~old enough to be "taken seriously"
~old enough to pass on wisdom to younger folks
~old enough to have that wisdom taken seriously with a "really?" attached by the younger folks
~old enough to sit back and relax
~old enough to watch the younger ones make fools of themselves
~old enough to sit back and watch the world go by
~old enough to remember "how it was"
~old enough to watch as history repeats itself
~old enough to have "heirs"
~old enough to Retire
~finally ld enough for the "middle age crisis' and no one will notice or "blame" me
~Soon to have even more senoir services open to me
~old
enough, but
still younger than my spouse!
