A Rant: I hate getting old

On May 27th I turned 46 and this has been very traumatic for me. In my mind I do not see myself as being old, hell I act more immature than most 6th graders. Physically, I am aging. My body aches in places that I did not even know could ache. I am overweight and out of shape. The sad thing is even if I lose weight and was in great shape I would still be OLD!! I do not even realize how old I must look but I did figure out I could be a grandmother. When I went to Turkey it is a custom for young people to give up their seats to OLDER women. Do you know how depressing it was to step on a bus and immediately have someone offer me their seat! The Turks must have thought I was crazy, I would hold on to the wrist straps on the bus and hang on for dear life for miles before I would accept their seats. When I look at my husband and I see his hair turning gray I am thankful that I am a blond and do not have a problem dying my hair!! Thank God I have not found a gray hair yet, I think that would send me over the deep end! I know I will more than likely be a crazy old lady but not tomorrow!!!
