I'm told often that I do not look my age. However, I am being carded less often than a few years ago. Do I dress older? I don't really have wrinkles. Perhaps I should stop calling those younger than me "whippersnappers", since it does sound like something an old person would say.
Last week I turned the big 2-7. No, it isn't really a milestone birthday, but it is just another reminder of how close I am to the big 3-0.
When I was younger, I couldn't imagine being this old. In fact, I was sure I would have died by 16. No real reason, I wasn't into a bad scene or anything. I just thought I would die young.
Well, I've managed to stay alive, and here I am. So what do I have to show for it? Well, I am the head of my department at work, I have my own apartment with a gorgeous view, and I do in fact still have my looks. Besides that, I have friends who truly care about me, a family who loves me, and the rest of the years ahead for many more adventures. Life is good.
But I got anti-wrinkle cream just in case.
Young at heart,

Happy, Happy Belated Birthday! You have already accomplished so much, K - it's only uphill from here.
ReplyDeleteP.S. If the anti-wrinkle cream doesn't work out, use a high SPF sunscreen (I like Neutrgoena) - it is the # 1 way to protect from wrinkles / premature aging. :)
Happy belated birthday! Funny, I always thought I would die young, too. (Guess I was just being dramatic?) Glad I didn't, 'cause there's lots of living left to do. :)
