Time

Time really passes so quickly. So quickly, that when I turned 30 this past year it just didn't seem possible. I swear I'm still 20. I have no problem growing older. Maybe I should say, I HAD no problem growing older. That was, until certain experiences started creeping up and it made getting older very apparent. These are signs, all of which actually happened, that show me I'm no longer 20.
So, you know you're getting older when:

*You have arthritis in more than one joint at one time
*You cannot do burpees because fast movements throw your back out plus it hurts your arthritic toe
*You're not exactly sure how old you are, but you can guess within a year or two
*You can't wait to show your friends the new project you just crocheted
*The only thing you want for Christmas is a juicer
*You have to edit all of your wrinkles out of your photos in Photoshop
*Your kids ask you if you were alive when Michael Jordan played basketball
*You use expressions your parents used and you once laughed at them for it (Good Heavens!) That's not the only one. All of the others include swear words.
*You try to get away with only washing your hair once a week
*You go to Las Vegas when MTV Spring Break is in town, but you don't realize it because you are there for a Bon Jovi concert.
*You have to sit during the Bon Jovi concert because your arthritic toe is acting up again.
*You keep your pillow and blanket downstairs because you sleep on the couch at night. Why? because you're too tired to walk up the stairs at the end of the day.
*Your 8 year old informs you, you are singing the wrong words to a popular song.  When he tells you what he thinks it says you don't believe him so you turn the music up to listen, only to realize you are, in fact, wrong and the 8 year old is correct.

Whenever I feel ancient, I know of a way to remedy the situation. I take a trip through Sun City and my depression turns into road rage in .3 seconds. Problem solved.
