You just love the humor of this concept! Thank you for showing me that I am! Sometimes you are just plain awful and other times I LOVE YOU! Sometimes you are nice and other times you are MEAN! Don't be mean, it's just not nice! I wish I could put you on "time out" like I do my 7 year old, but you love to make the clock go faster when I do that!
I just wish daily you would give me the "head's up" as to what each day is going to be! It would have prevented that look last night when I saw a CHILD I have known forever working at a real restaurant (not fast food) telling me she is getting her masters, did my face show how old that made me feel? I blinked and these kids are all adults, is that the same time that blink caused things to "go south" when I wasn't looking? AGAIN...mean! Is that the same blink that said, "get out of those cute little stores in Huntington Beach yesterday because they have nothing that looks good on an old lady like you?! AGAIN...mean!
Ok, other times you are kind! There are so many days I love being who I am and how old I am, I know that there is SO much more ahead for me to do and see as my kids get older. I love seeing things through the eyes of someone older who has been there, done that, and doesn't need to be there and do that again! YEAH!
So, in conclusion...can you please just tell me what today holds? Am I the "old woman" today or the "wiser older woman" or am I a "young older woman," there are so many options...which one is it today? What should I wear today? You know what fits this old lady the best!

A MASTERFUL PIECE OF WORK YOUNGSTER!!!
but you're way too young to be writing stuff like this...the difference between young and old is a puzzlement. like in Fiddler OTR...
your photo of the young/old woman is perfect, altho I saw the old woman at first glance...it didn't surprise me...
but after reading your blog all I could see was the young woman...
go figure...
About getting old: "GET OVER IT!!!"

AHHH...I thanks for the words of encouragement! Somedays it's just "old' I feel and somedays I am thrilled to be this age, not that one, or that one, or that one! I would never want to be some of those again or not sure I am ready for some of those! I am thrilled to be just this one! Ok, so...I need your email, I have something to send you!
