Have you ever thought about
ging ?
I didn’t when I was young.
Oh, I knew old people,
anyone who was a real adult was old in my eyes,
I couldn’t imagine that someday I would
look and think like them.
I’m not talking about celebrities but regular old people
like parents and grandparents, aunts and uncles, doctors and teachers.
Now that I am of a certain ge it amazes me how young these people are.
Babies are having babies!
And don’t get me started on doctors!
I mean really when did they get so young?
Isn’t there an ge requirement to get a medical license?
Well, I have ged and though I am told I don’t look my ge
I know what I look like first thing in the morning and last thing at night
and it ain’t pretty. Not ugly but definitely old.
It’s okay.
Well, it isn’t really okay but in life if you don’t ge you’re dead.
That’s my post for the letter
Oh, can I relate to this one, Patricia!
Seems there are more than a few of us in blogland.
I still see myself as eighteen, even though I entered my seventh decade last week. To me, everyone older than me is old, but now when I see old movies and the people describe a particularly decrepit character as being sixty, I take another look in the mirror….

I do my best to stay away from mirrors. I am happier in my delusion of not looking old(er).
I think that no matter how old I am, doctors and preachers should be older than me. Not my age. Certainly not younger than me! I had to go to a new doctor a couple of years ago and that girl had to have still been in kindergarten. I remember when I was a little girl, my pediatrician had to be about a hundred years old. These new, young doctors are making me feel like *I* am the hundred year old now. 🙂
Have a great weekend!
I recently had cataract surgery. The doctor was twelve. 🙂
Very cute post. I have had similar thoughts about how people just keep getting younger and younger and how is that? LOL! Aging is a truly funny thing, isn’t it? But, I prefer it to the alternative. Have a good one!
Aging is a funny thing and not for wimps.
I really look forward to your A-Z posts, my friend. You never disappoint!

Thank you, Annie! I will try to not let you down.
What a delightful “A” post and one I could relate to all too well! The older we get the younger everyone else seems. I feel like the “grandma” at the office, and the slow-moving old lady at morning and night. But not all about aging is bad, we can pretty much do what we want and get away with it, people will just chalk it up to our advancing years! 😉

You are right…aging is what you make of it. I am okay with being old(er). I just hope this stage of life lasts a long time. 😉
When I was a kid I never thought of aging physically, but I did think of being older in years and what that meant. In all honesty I never thought I’d live to see my 20’s, and I’m still surprised when I really let myself think about it. Nice post 👍

Thanks, Steph. Given I was something of a wild child I am somewhat surprised I have lived to be old.
Thanks for the smiles, Patricia. 🙂
Thank you for visiting and commenting!
Words to live by: If you don’t age, you’re dead. So true. Interesting topic to start off the challenge!
Life is interesting in all its parts and pieces of time. Thanks for visiting.
Aging came as rather a shock to me too. Parts of me just don’t work like they used to, and it’s all downhill from here. But maybe I’ll get one of those chair-lifts for the stairs, and then going downhill won’t be so hard. LOL! Have a great weekend!
I get a shock every time I look in the mirror! In my mind I look much younger. 😉 I don’t think of it as downhill more potholes in the road though.
Love this, Patricia! Well done.
Thanks! It is a fun challenge. I hope to have Tuesday Chatter posts worked into A to Z.
I do feel old at 46, there are Doctors younger than me. I started feeling old in my 30s when police officers were younger than me.
I could be your mother! Everybody is younger than me.
Sounds a marvelous start, Patricia. I look forward to the rest of the month’s A – Z. 🙂
Day one down only 25 to go.:0
Almost over. Sorry I haven’t been around to read them all. 😦
Oh my. Are you trying to read all the blogs you follow to get caught up? That’s scary!
No. No. No. That’s impossible. I just noted how far down the alphabet you’ve come. Scary is right. I can’t keep up on a good day let alone after being away. ❤ ❤
Visiting from a to z challenge. Aging is tricky. I remember a few years ago when my wife discovered our pastor at the time was younger than her. It was only by a few months and he was relatively young but it was still rather shocking to her.
It does seem some people should always be older than we are. Somehow that doesn’t work out. Thanks for visiting and commenting, Dave.
