How old were you when you looked in the mirror and thought "Who the F is that ?".

Do you sometimes feel, like an old violin?
Soon to be put away, and never played again?

I was looking in the mirror 10 years ago

For me it was the 1st Monday morning after the weekend of my 40th birthday. It wasn't a look in the mirror thing. It was more permanent. Coming out of the bathroom, where I'd lived for nearly a decade, I stumped my little toe on the door facing of my bathroom door and broke it. As soon as I quit cussing, I thought to myself, "This is what the rest of my life will be."
I wasn't wrong, but there's still lots of good times too.. At 65 now, I just laugh, and feel like I'm staying a step ahead of the devil, when they happen. .

Im mid 40’s but feel and look late 20’s early 30’s. I feel great to be honest.

The last thing to get unhinged about is gray hair or wrinkles. That is the easy stuff. Wait until it takes you 10 minutes to pee and Metamucil to poop. Wait until your skin gets so thin that you get bruises rolling over in the bed. Wait until you have arthritis in so many places that you need to have 10 pillows in the bed to cushion aching joints so you can sleep. You get on a first name basis with people who work at the pharmacy. You quit driving after dark or when the weather is the least bit bad. You go see a new doctor and realize that you have underwear that is older than he is. I could go on but you get the idea.

LRB!
