Age

"And in the end, it's not the years in your life that count.  It's the life in your years."
- Abraham Lincoln

 
This evening my husband told me that something happened when he wasn't paying attention - he got old.  What?  Given that he and I are the same age, both turning 36 this year, I guess that means I'm old as well.  I generally don't feel old, though there are some days when the aches and pains catch up to me.  I wake up in the morning and my hands feel stiff.  I have a hard time walking smoothly because my right hip flexor is tight, so I hobble around a bit until things loosen up.  I know I'm no "spring chicken" but I'm not ready to be put out to pasture either!  I guess one of my goals is to maintain my youthfulness through health, fitness, and fun.  Here's to a lot of life in my years!
