Friday Fab Five: Five Things About Aging
Five Worst Things About Aging
1. My achy joints, blurred vision, and saggy--well, everything.
2. My kids are now bigger than I am, because while they are still growing, I think I'm shrinking.
3. Hearing my mother's voice and words come out of my mouth.
4. Being just a bit more pessimistic than I used to be.
5. Facing my own mortality.
Five Best Things About About Aging
1. Not caring what people think of the way I dress, act, or think.
2. Not having to "pay my dues" in my career anymore by working entry-level jobs.
3. Having wisdom that only comes from life experience.
4. Having more financial security than I did in my twenties and thirties.
5. Being able to go to bed early and not be considered a party-pooper.

WOW!! A double fiver!! Thanks for sharing!
One good thing is having a virtually never-ending library of stories or life-examples to spew at all kinds of appropriate (or otherwise) times.
And the saggy thing? So not fair. All these women getting boob jobs. I just want mine back where they belong!
