And, speaking of time flying by...I had my first feeling of, "Wow...I really am getting old" last night at the grocery store. I was purchasing my groceries and this nice "kid" who was the cashier says to me, "Did you used to teach Kindergarten?" I replied yes, I did. "Wow", he says, " You were my kindergarten teacher. I'm a SENIOR in high school now!" What!!!!! How can that possibly be that my sweet little kindergartners are now graduating from High School. The only explanation I can muster up, is that I must really be starting to get old...there is no denying it now, the wheels of time have begun. And, come to think of it, when I was getting my hair cut last weekend, I kept looking at the young 20-something cutting my hair and was amazed at how SHE didn't have any lines under her eyes; no dark circles, no bags, certainly no wrinkles, just smooth, beautiful skin. I guess those days are over for good. So-Long youth, hello middle-age!
There is a silver lining - The 30-something version of you resembles the 20-something version enough to spark the 12-year old memory of a kid who was 6 years old.
