You know you are starting to get old when you really have to think about how old you are. I always thought the "old'ing" process would begin around what my hair is doing. Is it grey? Is it receding? Thinning? Or maybe even wrinkling skin. I don't seem to have that going on just yet. Memory problems? Yes! That does seem to be taking place. Heck, I don't even remember having memory problems. Aching muscles? Yes! Even when I don't do anything! (Maybe that's part of the problem).
Getting old(er) is just a part of life. But is it so bad? Do you really want to go back to those awkward teenage years where everything was out of proportion? (I don't think I need to go into detail there). Sometimes I wish I could go back to high school so I could change a few things... maybe do a few things differently. Most people, I think, has something they would like to change in the past.
If you could go back in time to visit a younger you, what would you tell yourself? Would you tell yourself to watch out for something in particular? Would you give life changing advice? Would you tell yourself to bet on the Boston Red Sox to win the World Series a few years ago? Even invest in some Apple stock? Or totally avoid the stock market at all? What would you tell yourself? Anything?

Let's see, how many can I think of???? #1 The old saying "This too, shall pass" is so true. Also the one that says "That which doesn't kill you makes you stronger"...actually, if you hear an old saying that makes a modicum of sense? Believe it!

#1-Lying is not worth it.
#2-Please do punch her in the face.
#3-Say something...anything...now.
How's that?

I guess I would tell myself... Self, you will be MUCH cooler than those people one day. In fact you probably already are.
