Growing Older Really Does Mean That......

  • It's harder to tell navy from black

  • Everything old is new again, but if you wore it before, you're too old to wear it the 2nd time around
  • Your kids are becoming you...and you don't like them!...but your grandchildren are perfect!
  • Yellow becomes the big color... Walls, teeth, (blonder) hair
  • Going out is good, coming home is better
  • When people say you look "Great" they add "for your age"
  • When you needed the discount you paid full price.. Now you get discounts on everything... Movies, hotels, flights.
  • You forget names but it's OK because other people forgot they even knew you.
  • The last 2 outfits you wore had spots on them.
  • You ask your husband or friend how your outfit looks and they tell you the truth
  • The five pounds you wanted to lose is now 15 and you have a better chance of losing your keys than the 15 pounds.
  • You realize you're never going to be really good at anything, especially golf.
  • Your husband is counting on you to remember things you don't remember.
  • The things you cared to do, you don't care to do but you care that you don't care to do them anymore.
  • Your husband sleeps better on a lounge chair with the TV blaring then he does in bed.  It's called his "pre-sleep"
  • Remember when your mother said "Wear clean underwear in case you GET in an accident"? Now you bring clean underwear in case you HAVE an accident!
  • You used to say, "I hope my kids GET married.. Now I hope they STAY married!
  • The best place to have a conversation with your husband is in the bathroom. You have his full attention.
  • Who wants to wear 3" heels anyway?
  • You miss the days when everything worked with just an "ON" and "OFF" switch.
  • You remember when GOOGLE, iPod, email, modem were unheard of and a mouse was something that made you climb on a table.
  • You use more 4 letter words..."what?" "When?"???
  • Now that you can afford expensive jewelry, it's not safe to wear it anywhere.
  • Your husband has a night out with the guys but he's home by 9:00 P.M. --   Next week it will be 8:30 P.M.
  • You read 100 pages into a book before you realize you've read it already.
  • Notice everything they sell in stores is "sleeveless"?
  • 30 of the people in People Magazine you've never heard of.
  • Your concealer doesn't conceal.
  • Your lipstick bleeds.
  • Your mascara clumps and your eyebrows are disappearing.
  • What used to be freckles are now liver spots.
  • Everybody whispers.
  • You have 3 sizes of clothes in your closet, 2 of which you  will never wear.
  • Now that your husband has retired you'd give anything if he'd find a job!

But...old is good in some things: .old songs... Old movies
And best of all OLD FRIENDS!!!!!

Thank you Leslie J Killen

    My grandma always says to me “Getting old is in your mind” and there is the great quote that “We don’t stop playing because we get old, we get old because we stop playing.

  4. yeah its a bliss and a curse too, bliss when you enjoy your rest of life happily in peace playing with grand children and you are just retired from everything and curse when your health doesn’t supports you after particular period of age.

      Yep Mike, somehow seems totally unfair doesn’t it. I find that if I keep laughing at my aging process I won’t totally resent this stranger who peers back at me in the mirror everyday.

      Keep Smiling
