Dad turned 62 on Saturday. He is 62! That seems so old, yet looks so young. It is crazy how age changes as you get older. When I was 15 I thought 30 was old. When I was 20 I thought 50 was old. Now that I am 30 I feel like 60 is old....but then I look at my parents and I don't see old at all. I see young. I see happy. I still see people that are FULL of life.
Speaking of old....BeBe turned 82 on Sunday. Holy what?!? 82?!??! I always thought that was old, like way old. But I am so very wrong. BeBe still goes and gets it with the best of them.
I think time slows anybody down (look at the energy Aiden has compared to his young, vibrant, youthful mother). There are times when I have this realization that I am 31. I don't feel 31. But then again what does "31" feel like? I really believe you are only as old as you allow yourself to feel.
At 9:00 every night I feel like a 75 year old....you know one of those old woman who wants to be in bed and watch TV or play sudoko? At 11:45 each morning I feel like a 20 year old....I am ready for anything and everything!
I hope as I do actually age that I age like my parents and BeBe. I want to feel young and stay active and continue to live a full life. I want to travel and experience new things. I want for my kids to want to be around me and want to go places and experience new things with me. I want to be a lot like my parents (minus dad's bald head). I have great role models in my life.....you won't hear me complain!
