4 years to 40?

May 17, 2006

I was standing in church on Sunday chatting it up during the stand up and greet your neighbors portion of the service.. and I was talking to two ladies who are on the same softball team together. It’s an over fourty women’s softball league and I flippantly commented. “Hey, only four more years and I can join!” Then the wheels started turning. Then the realization hit me.. fourty.. wah.. it sounds .. well … old…

I admit that turning this coming Saturday didn’t phase me.. till I put it in those terms.. only four years to fourty.. All while designing this hat.. for the red hat ladies.. and having to wear a support stocking on my left leg on occasion because of a nasty varicose vein that has started plaguing me since I had Caleb 2 years ago..(an 11 pound baby will have that effect on your legs apparently) it’s all conspiring to make me feel a bit old.. but not really..at least not for four more years..

Turning forty wasn’t that bad (as I remember), although I suddenly realized I had to look a bit further down the list of ages to to check off on an application form, for example. Instead of just checking off the second selection down – which included age 39 – I had to go down the list further, to the 40 – 45 grouping.

More traumatic is the 50 birthday.

And you have MORE than ten years left before you get to that one!
