FEELING OLD SUDDENLY

Some things I knew to expect as I got older.

I anticipated the aches and pains.

I honestly did expect more grey hairs to be on my head by now.

And I am completely surprised that more of me hasn't fallen completely apart by now.

But I am still amazed how much credibility I suddenly have.

See, when you get to a certain age, people sort of assume you know what you're talking about.

I've never been that quiet retiring sort; I've always been more than a little vocal.

But as I've gotten older, my opinions seem to suddenly hold much more weight with people.

I think I could get used to this.
