Growing "Old"

Yeah, I know. I’m not that old. But man do I feel like I am. Not all the time mind you, there are hours and days when I feel my age or dare I say a little younger. In my head I’m still in at least my early twenties. My body? Ha, that’s a different story.

I have gained a considerable number of grey hairs in the last year or two. I say two, but my wife would say one. It’s been a stressful one to be sure.

I fall asleep at 8. Mostly because I am up at 4:30. That’s for work. No telling what time I would fall asleep if I was as young as my age tells me. Let’s just say the night life would still elude me.

I can still run! Not as fast as I once did, but it’s all about the stamina right? Ah, who am I kidding? I can’t run as far or as fast as I could in high school. But I’m definitely beating my twenties.

Speaking of one’s twenties. What’s with 20 somethings nowadays? Waiting around until their 30’s to really start their lives? Start young, 30 is too old to be chasing kids and trying to keep up with a crazy schedule. Be like me and have grey hairs by the time you’re 32.

Oh wait, it’s been two years since I was 32. Where does the time go? How am I almost in my mid-30s? Eek! Slow down already!

They say you’re only as old as you feel, my question is: Is that how you feel mentally, physically, or emotionally? ‘Cause I’m all over the place!
