How true

I thought these were very true:

"When you are young middle age is old, but when you get there, you find it is young."


"Age doesn't always bring wisdom, sometimes age comes alone."

Re: How true

They are so true.
There's no such thing as old age. I consider myself to be in late middle age...

As for wisdom - Well you've either got it or you haven't. I like to think I've gained a bit of wisdom as I've got older - at least I think more before I say something I might regret ... It doesn't always work though!

Re: How true

So true. As a young woman I never believed I would become old , it seemed an impossibility . I remember going to my mums 60th birthday with the family , to me mum was an old woman ......now I'm older than her ! Yet I feel younger than mum , if you get my meaning .

I do feel wiser now , and oh yes I've learned so many lessons.

I can officially call myself a wise old crone

Re: How true

Not this morning it isn't I have been up half the night with Chloe and feel very old today.

Re: How true

Grace is into dinosaurs at the moment she asked Steven what they were like as if he lived amongst them kids have little idea of time it seems.

I look at the 20 year olds at work and they seem little more than children with their dramas but I was married at 21 so either I was a child bride or we were more grown up back in the 80s.

I am definitely not as old as my mum at this age don't dress as old and have a younger outlook.

Re: How true

Is she OK Meg ?

Re: How true

Yes, so I'm old. Not quite as old as the universe, but relatively old. And so are you, Mupsy darlin'. Deal with it.

Re: How true

Ah, but are you old AND wise Plopsy dear, or just old?

Re: How true

If I were an owl I might be wise. Nah, I'm just old, but it doesn't bother me much.

Re: How true

Yes thanks Julie just an upset tummy. She is laying by my feet now after a dish of fish.
