1.
You care more about your height than your weight
at you yearly physical
It really is a moot point if you lost 5 pounds from last
year if you also lost ½ inch in height!
2.
You have shoes or boots or coats from the first
Bush administration
They were expensive and very soon they will be retro. There
are 80’s parties all the time, not that you are invited but?
3.
You are eating dinner early in the evening
because you go to bed early
You are up at 5 or 6 AM so eating early is just healthy
living. Doesn’t that sound righteous?
4.
You have readers, bifocals, computer glasses in
multitudes
Not really because you misplace them but for convenience,
right?
5.
You are familiar with many items that are now
obsolete
The smell and mess of carbon paper, the corded phone, the
typewriter, etc., that were a part of your first job experiences.
6.
You make time to talk with relatives and good
friends
Bluetooth and cell phones, SKPE and Facebook help stay in
touch with friends that you once would have been ‘too busy’ to stay connected.
7.
You are less judgmental and more supportive and
less patient with fools
Who cares, so what! Everyone makes mistakes! Let go of the
past! Move forward!
8.
Your appointments for the year are set with your
hair colorist
To those who have pretty gray, white or silver hair, I am
happy for you. To those of us who look like we have Dalmatian fur on our head,
the appointments are set!
9.
You have funeral outfits
You have been to enough and often with the same friends that
you have put together what you now call your funeral clothes.
1. You are invisible
Sure the clerk, the counter help or the waiter is looking
behind you for someone they think is better looking, bigger tipper, or more
interesting, but now they look through you!
Getting old and accepting it is better than the alternative.
Do you have some other tell tale points of aging?
