I find my feeling about my age differs with where I am in my life. The last couple of years have been difficult in several ways, and I had times where I felt old. This year is off to a much better start and the process of turning 50 no longer feels bad or final and I feel younger. So go figure.
I walk. I talk. I shop, I sneeze. I'm gonna be a fireman when the floods roll back. There's trees in the desert since you moved out. And I don't sleep on a bed of bones.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.
OK, fly-by-ing here to share a strip from Questionable Content (OMG so horribly addictive) because of the Buffistas-ness of it all: [link] Although it strikes me as too on-the-money not to have been linked to from here in the past.

I've been feeling 30 since I was about 25. I keep having to remind myself that I've got a few years to go because I don't feel like I'm still in my twenties.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
you feel guilt for not having stuff you don't even want and you won't get into therapy?
It's like being lightly OCD--it doesn't break me in any way. And it's not guilt. It's...hmm, where are my words? It's a conflict between the driven part of me, which has no traction or resources, and the laid back, let's-see-what-unfolds part of me.
Suppose I did fix that and was therefore perfect. It wouldn't be polite. I keep a flaw or three around to help other people be more comfortable around me.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Combating the radical gay penguin agenda
A children's book "about two male penguins who raise a baby penguin" has been removed from the kid's section of two public libraries after complaints it had "homosexual undertones." The book is "based on a true story of two male penguins, named Roy and Silo, who adopted an abandoned egg ...

I find my feeling about my age differs with where I am in my life.
Robin is so very wise. Turning 50 isn't hitting me as hard as turning 40 did, but my oldest turning 15? This is killing me. When did I get old enough to have a high schooler? That coupled with a new hire here at work that was born in Sept of 1978? OUCH - that's when it starts to get ya.
