Am I old yet?
I'm amazed at my father's seemingly eternal youthfulness. He turned 61 on Sunday and still seems like he's in his 30's (except for the fact he goes to bed at 7:30). I hope I still look that good at 60. I judge alot by my grandparents, all of whom looked like death had warmed over by that age. Granted they had lived hard lives, and smoked like it was the key to heaven. But then so did my dad, and my mom to for that matter. She still has the look of a younger girl to her. Both have fortunatly quit the smoking and are trying to take better care of themselves. Still, I can't help but wonder what I will turn out like at that age. Bald to be sure, I only have a few good years left of hair, but hopefully still youthful. I should point out that I turn 27 in six days. In a lot of ways I feal kinda old allready. My knees creek, by back cracks, my eyesight is going downhill. But I still feel alot like I did when I was a kid. I still am amazed when I see something new and exciting. I still love puppies and sunny days at the park. And I still would rather watch cartoons than C.S.I. Maybe old age is just exagerated. As long as we still have something to look ahead to, how old can you be?
