A slap in the face with reality....not to bad


Well on Friday I was at the hospital another appointment about my knee and while I was there I was waiting I saw a older woman walk past me to book in I took no notice and then she went back past again after booking in. Then all of a sudden they called a name I knew and she stood up and went in and I realised the older woman was a good friend from school in fact she married a chap whose best mate I used to date.
A slap in the face of reality I am 50 I could be taken for an "older lady"

And are you noticing how young policemen look too????

Yes, it creeps up and then does huge kangeroo jumps and sooner than you think, you'll be a "retired" older person! I've only got 11 months to go

I was born in 1964- I'm not looking forward to my birthday this year...................

it is scary as you don't realy feel much older mentaly, sometimes i can't believe how old i've got, think i'm the oldest at work apart from the handyman, not a nice feeling at all.

It is scary. I was 52 two week ago - time does go by so quickly

I know the feeling. I'm 54 in a few weeks and although I think I'm still 18 in my head I walk past a shop window sometimes and think, who's that old bird? I've noticed how much I say the things my mother says, you know, old lady stuff.
"That will wash lovely!" and "I had a good sleep", things I won't never have thought I'd say.
I also, rub my knees a lot more and say, ups-a-daisy when I leave the couch… it's bad

I totally agree with all of you.

I think I am older than you lot (you young things!) and I have learned that you have to be quite brave about getting older. Also there is never anyone that you can actually tell your fears to, so you have to be brave and swallow them yourself.
