How many of us have received forwarded emails containing the following joke :-
Aging:
Eventually you will reach a point
When you stop lying about your age
And start bragging about it...
We read it, laugh and enjoy a few seconds of lightheartedness.
I've received this joke several times before.
BUT, the last time I read it (just earlier today), my heart skipped a beat.
Why?
Because I just realised that that was EXACTLY what I was doing, just 2 days ago... in the gym.... talking to a bunch of Generation Y youngbies.
To their credit, they feigned disbelief (such proper upbringing these people had) and told me (as if in utter disbelief) that I looked at least 10 years younger (how I wanted to pinch their cheeks and pat the top of their heads!).
But yeah... I guess I have reached yet another stage in life.... (you know besides the permanent wobbles, aching joints, failing eyesight, thinning hair, stubborn fat and early nights) I've begun to well, not so much BRAG (ok, maybe a little) but more, I'm no longer ashamed, about my age.
Until a few weeks ago, my cheeks would burn in shame, I'd feel slightly embarrassment, and I'd look away when anyone mentions anything that pointed out my age...
Yet today, I'm ALMOST bragging.
Ok... gotta go. Time to get this triple-botox-action-anti-wrinkle-age-defying-youthful-suppleness-guaranteed mask off :D
Live young.... think wise :D

The next trick is to admit to an older age than you actually are...then people will wonder at how good you look!
