They tell me that age is a reletive thing, well try telling that to your body when every part of it is trying its best to go south no matter how hard you try to keep it up north!

Now I dont actually have a problem with the age thing, when people ask they are told my real age because to me what is the point in making some weird and ridiculous age up? Besides I dont like lies. I am not scared of becoming older, and in some ways look forward to the time when I can get away with doing weird and wonderful things and be forgiven cos it's my age dontcha know, unlike now when I am told that I should not be doing so and so and to 'act my age' etc etc.

Well the thing is that in my head I am 21, though my body (the traitorous thing) testifies that I am older, I dont feel old, therefore I am not old. If I like that pair of shoes and have the money to purchase them then I will do so, dont tell me that they should only be worn by 'young' people, why? Do only the young have the right to nice shoes? I am a bit more conservative in my apparel, though I favour my baby pink jersey wool scarf and my cerise and black fingerless gloves, and why not, is there some rule that says all those over a cretain age should wear a black or a white scarf? I like certain types of clothes and while they still look good on me, why should I not wear them? Why should I demure and grow old gracefully? I am not ready for that by a long, long way.

Old to me is at least 75, and I am nowhere near that golden age (honest I'm not) so I will go on growing old/er disgracefully and those that look on me as slightly mad or eccentric, well honies, there is a bit of that in all of us ;)

Have a great day my friends :wave:
