Funny how we age….

Funny how we age…...

You have heard children… or maybe you might remember you saying... I am 4 , and almost a  half... with 4 fingers showing…  

Then there is I am almost 16.. which means getting a drivers license.

Then we look forward to first 18, hopefully getting out of school and being on your own..  a job.. adult hood… 

At 21, we find out that first drink we waited for, wasn’t all it was cracked up to me...

Then we are 29 until we are within an hour of turning 30… in my day, no one wanted to be 30... after all the saying was.. Don't trust anyone over 30.   and then you stretch 30 for all its worth.

Then there is the gloom and doom of 40 and 50… over the hill of them.. and teasing by your friend about you getting old.

60 seems to come without problems.. after all you are just a couple years from retirement.. hopefully the kids are gone from the house… and grandkids are starting to show up...

70.. still not too bad.. and you are lucky enough, hopefully to be retired.  Maybe traveling..  maybe doing something that you thought at the age of 20 you like to do, but you didn’t have the money to do it... start a small business.. maybe part time work during the winter  or even Spring.. before summer hits. Or doing just what you darn well feel like

Mid way.. towards the end of the 70’s, you start joking about pushing towards 80.. You don’t feel in your 70’s because we seem to be healthier than our parents in their 70’s… 

So it is pushing 80….Yep, I am pushing 80… next year.

Come the 90’s .. you step up proud and loud if you are healthy.. claiming each year.. Yep, I am 94… with pride..
