Getting older is so much different when it's you that's moving up in the age bracket. I was talking to a friend recently and asked him if he had turned 50 yet, he responded, "No, not until next year! But I just had an epiphany of growing older. My daughter had some music on that was "rocky", Gospel, but rocky and caught myself banging on her door telling her to turn that noise down. I stopped myself there in the hallway and said, I've just turned into my Dad!"
Those of us born in 1959 are very quickly approaching the half century mark, but it doesn't feel like 50. I am still young inside. Perhaps I am young ONLY in my mind. My body reminds me that it is well aware that 50 is very near. When my Dad turned 50 he was very old....but the 50 I am facing in about 14 months surely is not the same 50! I am so young! Ha! This comic strip is the epitome of the way I feel.....dumb mirror!!!!!
