Yep, last year in the 30's. Do you remember when you were little and your parents were turning 40? Is that what my Preschool kids think of me? All I could think was how old they were! We talk about age all the time. When someone passes away...How old were they? When a child uses the potty for the first time or reading...How old are they? Hearing people say...Act your age! You get my drift.
I like getting older. I think there is a power in it. I have become more confident with my choices. I find trying to give good advice to the younger crowd. I also can say "no" a little bit easier every year. In the past I never said "no" and it led to problems getting overloaded in life. But one thing I don't like it watching my parents getting older. It's just something I worry about and want them to feel good physically and mentally.
There are days I feel really young. I think working with children does that to a person. I tend to know the trends and changes in language. Also keeping up with the latest technology. I also am very comfortable hanging out with the younger crowd.
But there are days that I feel old! When I have preschool kids that are driving or graduating, waking up so stiff that I can hardly move, or dying that gray hair.
I believe be the age you want to be. Enjoy every age. Embrace it. Celebrate it. Don't let any birthday pass without letting people spoil you. I personally never want to grow up completely. I always want to relate to ages 2 to 102.
