Getting older...NOT old age!

I'm going to blame it on getting older. Not old age. I am NOT OLD. Just getting older. When I can't find my phone when I just put it down 5 minutes ago. When I can't find my bifocals when I just put them down 10 minutes ago. When I can't remember where I put my *&^%$ pocketbook. When I can't find that book I was reading last night. When I can't remember, dang! Didn't I pay that bill last month when it says 2 is due?!

I will relish the thought that I can still find my way to work and then home! I will relish the thought I still know my childrens name's, even though I may call them each others names. I will relish the thought that I can still function. And my heart goes out to the ones that can't and to their families.

I will appreciate the fact at my age a MAN tells me I could pass for 10 years younger. (and he didn't say it to "get something". I had already cleared that up!) I appreciate the fact that a MAN asked me, "where are your wrinkles?" Of course my reply is, I sell Mary Kay and use it too! :) I appreciate the fact there is still someone out there that thinks my butt isn't to big! ha! HA! And thinks it's firm on top of that! A big HA HA! Those kind of complements do wonders for deflated ego's let me tell you! Maybe there's hope for me yet!

So, this is just getting older, NOT OLD.
