Things I know now that I’m old:
That confidence opens doors. If I had only been confident enough to talk to that beautiful, popular girl in high school, I would have enjoyed a friend for life. Fortunately I did talk to her at our 40 year reunion.....What a special friend Jere has become.
That when you lose your parents, no matter how old, you become an orphan. Being an orphan really sucks.
That being old is not really all that bad because wisdom trumps being thin.
That you don’t grow old alone, all your friends grow old along with you
That no matter how old you get, the people you went to school with stay young in your mind.
Your adult kids make mistakes and you have to let them. Hopefully you will get to help them pick up the pieces. And if they cut you off, it is their loss.
A little gray hair looks better with wrinkly skin..it just does.
That there will always be an 18 year old trapped inside you.
That if you drive with the top down on your convertible, you become 18 again, and if you wear big earrings, cool sunglasses and a baseball cap, guys will still whistle at you at the light. YOU get the last laugh because only YOU know you are old enough to be their GRANDMOTHER!!
That feelings of love and passion just grow stronger with age.
Jesus loves us just the way we are.
