Aging…
Everyone ages, it’s a fact of life. I know this and I hope one day I’ll be an 80 year old grandmother and look back on life and be able to say it was full and wonderful. However, lately I’m a lil scared because I can feel myself age. I don’t know if that makes sense but is it possible to feel age set in suddenly? Or maybe my mind and body are finally catching up to each other and I’m just more aware now??
Hmmm…I guess I’m being a little silly because I’m in my mid-twenties and things could be worse but starting a couple of months ago I started noticing some unusual things. I noticed my eyes are not sharp as they used to be, my knees ache when it rains or is chilly outside, my body bruises easily (the first time in my life I ever saw a bruise on myself!) and I fall asleep before midnight with ease.
I know these things aren’t serious but it just surprised me that I could feel the differences in my body. I thought maybe I wouldn’t feel this way until I was 40. Maybe I should take this as a wake up call to take better care of myself.

ever hear the Michele Shocked song “When I grow up I Want to Be an Old Woman”? One of my favorites.
Those wakeup calls will start coming more and more frequently as time moves on.
we go together like what? slices of bread? i don’t get it.. hahaa
Don’t worry, the world will end in 2012, so you don’t have to worry about getting old. =]
being aware helps one appreciate
We all should take better care of ourselves. And, please don’t say you’re old because that would mean I’m ancient. >.RYC – I’ve noticed that you have a thing for Tebow. The only time I actually followed football (back when I watched television back east) I was a fan of Tom Brady.
I know you wrote this like 5 months ago, but I just found it. I wrote about aging yesterday but I’m close to 50! haha
I started noticing things really changing around 39. Mind you I had two kids in my late twenties so there were changes just from that. But since 39 it’s been downhill ever since LOL. But especially in these last five years or so I’d have to say I feel like I’m looking aged.
Not getting any sun on your face really helps. If only I did the same for the rest of my body which looks much older LOL.
Thanks for the interview – that really blessed me in a sad time.
