I need to get out and weed my garden but it is doing so poorly I look at it and think, well, at least the weeds are growing and being productive.

KDOGG, trust me, 25 is not old, although 25 isn't 18, you are in the most amazing years of your youth right now. I remember being your age and thinking 40 was just ancient and near death. 40 hit and NBD. Actually, 30 was horrible. I cried for 5 months. 50 was like Cool. Finally I get some respect. 60 was like OMG I'm a senior citizen! Give me my danged discounts! I also learned that if I stopped coloring my hair, I got those senior citizen discounts, LOL 65 was a milestone for me. I made it! Social Security and Medicare both! YAY!

But in all seriousness, the only thing I notice about being older other than looking in the mirror and saying 'who the heck is that old woman anyway and where did all those sags and wrinkles come from?' is that personally I started reflecting back on my life. Things that were great, things that weren't so great, things I wish I had done differently, and then looking forward. True, there are more years behind many of us than there are ahead but these years to come are like the icing on the cake.

Give yourself another 30 years and when I am looking at 97 and you are looking at 55, we can look back on this post on BYC and have a good laugh. You'll know me. I'll still be Microchick and I'll be working on my 110,000 post.

Loved reading this. Thank you. I guess I’m not really old but I just sometimes feel like it when a lot of the people I talk to or meet now are younger than me when they used to be all be older or when I see how long ago certain songs or movies or something were released and I’m like dang it was THAT long ago!? Or when I graduated forever ago lol but really I’m probably not old. :lau

Nice job on the weight loss!

@perchie.girl :clap:clap:celebrate:celebrate:clap:clap! I am so happy for you! I knew you could do it!

@superchemicalgirl I forgot to mention earlier how beautiful that pillow is.Your quilting patterns are exquisite and I enjoy studying them as much as I enjoy your finished projects.

Just got the good word that Sidney is doing great. Uneventful and routine. She gets to come home tomorrow morning.

@KDOGG331 you just wait girl. One day somebody will walk up to you that is younger and it will be your birthday. When you tell them how old you are they will look at you and say 'Whow! You're older than my mom and Dad are'.

Then you will feel old.
