Observations
on Maturing

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
second time around.

Your
kids are becoming you...and you don't like them! ....but your grandchildren are
perfect.

Yellow
becomes the big color...walls...hair...teeth.

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 had to pay 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 in his swivel rocker 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!"

Who
wants to wear 3" heels anyway?

You
miss the days when everything worked with just an "ON" and "OFF"
switch.

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.

You
read 100 pages into a book before you realize you've read it.

Notice
everything they sell in stores is sleeveless.

Many
of the people in People Magazine you've never heard of.

        What
used to be freckles are now liver spots.

Everybody
whispers.

Now
that your husband has retired ... you'd give anything if he'd find a
job..

You
have 3 sizes of clothes in your closet....2 of which you will never
wear.

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

Thanks
for being one of them.
