I certainly don't feel my age but it's tough to realize that I'm not so much young anymore.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for the link to that recipe!Meghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07307479510589425666noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5661834798452792476.post-75256688844305035252008-12-19T12:28:00.000-08:002008-12-19T12:28:00.000-08:00I've had grey hair since I was 12!!!

I feel old physically sometimes, but that is just because I feel my body where before I never did. My mental age varies, but is mostly far less mature than my age of almost 40 should suggest. I don't fear getting old in years, but I don't want to age. You're not alone - but can you make my little red sports car a convertible? Then I can call those gray hairs my blonde highlights!areyoukiddingmehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16107214079237461141noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5661834798452792476.post-51133759405717649542008-12-18T15:01:00.000-08:002008-12-18T15:01:00.000-08:00Good to hear from you Julia!

It's hard growing older, especially if you don't feel old, but you are at an age that you know you used to perceive as old. For the record, I don't think of 40as old (anymore) but then I am not too far away myself.CLChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08030787972960755420noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5661834798452792476.post-58690518572543657342008-12-16T14:26:00.000-08:002008-12-16T14:26:00.000-08:00I'm approaching 40 quicker than I would like so I ...I'm approaching 40 quicker than I would like so I totally get your perspective. Also the permanence of your surgery is understandably upsetting...even if you don't want any more kids. <BR/><BR/>When my twins were born the Ob/gyn asked me if I wanted my tubes tied. I guess he thought 30 weeker twins was reason enough to keep me from getting pregnant again. I refused. My husband's sterile so there was no need. I didn't want the permanence of the procedure. I wanted the "option" just in-case.<BR/><BR/>My thoughts are with you.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04235678777598528872noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5661834798452792476.post-28546510146079582262008-12-16T11:44:00.000-08:002008-12-16T11:44:00.000-08:00Move on over, I'll join you in that little red...Move on over, I'll join you in that little red sportscar (matter of fact, I think I was here first, lol). For me, the flood of 20-somethings into an office where I'd always been one of the younger people, or at least a peer to most of my colleagues, was what really started me feeling like I was getting old. I guess the 40s will do that to you. :p At the same time, as you said, there are certain parts of my 20s & 30s that I really would not care to relive (going through it once was definitely enough!!). <BR/><BR/>I've been feeling rather scattered myself lately, but I do think the holiday rush has a lot to do with it. (((HUGS))) & I hope you're feeling more like yourself again soon!loribethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09272814565916935113noreply@blogger.com
