I realize we're all a few years older than we were in school, but I have a question. Do you really feel older? I'm not talking about physically, I know there are differences there, but what about mentally?
I don't. Mentally I feel just like I did in high school. Obviously the hair is almost all grey, there are a lot of wrinkles, especially around my eyes, and what I used to think was a few freckles congregating on my arm turned out to be an age spot, but that's all physical and I think the physical side changes much quicker than the mental side.
Some of us age more gracefully than others. My wife for example is 52 and doesn't have a grey hair on her head, I on the other hand look my age, but I don't feel my age. I like to think my younger kids have kept me on my toes, and maybe they have. I still love to cut up and laugh and joke and horse play just like I did in high school.
The other night the football team for my kid's high school was in a playoff game and it was raining and windy with the temperature around 40. I didn't go. They did, and I would have too when I was in high school, but I stayed in where it was warm. Older also means wiser. :)
