I found gray hair when I was 24, I'm starting to notice my face thinning in a way that makes me look older, my back hurts, some days I just want to stay home instead of go out and party, I am thrilled to get in bed at 10:00pm when I once swore I would never go to bed before 1:30am. I look at kids younger than me and I think how old I'm getting. My parents always told me it would happen to me but I didn't realize at the time how fast it happens!Cake Betchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05566515247565039869noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5771249763573109399.post-54294220160065103512011-02-06T15:52:41.238-05:002011-02-06T15:52:41.238-05:00La Cremiere-- Oh such a young one--and with that ...La Cremiere-- Oh such a young one--and with that attitude and those jeans--whoops--genes-lol--you will never grow old!<br /><br />Love the comment.

But I come for a line of women who never grew old anyway - and I don't mean it in a sinister way - my great grandma died at 93 and she was still going out everyday and living her life like she was 50. My grandma, now 83 still goes out to hang out with her friends everyday and is just the coolest. My mom (GardeninFrance) just turned 59 today - grandma of 3, probably has more life and energy than most 20 year-old I know. Age is all in the head, so you can be young forever, wrinkles and a little of weight is just luggage from the journey :)La Cremierehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08257854632199202600noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5771249763573109399.post-15383453133518323042011-02-06T00:13:46.618-05:002011-02-06T00:13:46.618-05:00RK--I had no idea how sick I was at that time.

I think it's important to keep some individuality!<br /><br />J<br /><br /><br />Jimmy- Thanks so much my Friend! I was startled by that Pre-surgery pic. I vowed to get OVER it, and to a degree-I have! I look at it to remind me of what could have happened!! I really shouldn't be here--except for I should- as God has not called me home yet.<br /><br />Until that day--I'll Blog and Snap pics away!<br /><br />Bless you Buddy,<br /><br />JohnFull-On-Forwardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12964018803560952364noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5771249763573109399.post-9457532673184427042011-02-05T21:13:30.678-05:002011-02-05T21:13:30.678-05:00Awwwwwwwwwwww
Great Post John, Getting a bit olde...Awwwwwwwwwwww<br /><br />Great Post John, Getting a bit older with a few health problems does add some aches and pains, slow you down, and actually kick your rear on some days, for me anyways.<br /><br />I still see myself as a young man until I look in the mirror and see someone who is looking like my dad staring back, there are a lot of things I still think I can do and yes I do more than I should but I suppose we all do.<br /><br />I looked at pictures from my High School Reunion and thought Man these guys got old looking, so glad I didn't.<br /><br />Looking good John there is so much difference between the pre illness pic and the post, I am proud of you my friend for being who you are.Jimmyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11676883070882757501noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5771249763573109399.post-73970112097605445402011-02-05T19:53:34.469-05:002011-02-05T19:53:34.469-05:00Awwww.

No one ever told me! I only got negatives and this is very sad. I see those gifts declining now when I most appreciate their value. Inside, I am still about 14. I look in the mirror and I'm shocked because that person isn't the one inside. I have a lot of the same aches and pains I had at 19 - they are just worse now - except that I can cope better now than then. <br /><br />In my dreams, I'm always about 24 or so but often contemporary with my kids and not married. Is that weird?Jeanniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15320507412459242451noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5771249763573109399.post-66210467418226866572011-02-05T17:34:18.322-05:002011-02-05T17:34:18.322-05:00Mark-- I want to do a Post on Stink.

My O my, that was a revelation. But I weathered 17 different surgeries, since i was 19, for everything from broken neck and back to gall bladder removal Last year) and I now feel old at 21.
