\"Old<\/a>I’ve come to terms with my age.
\nAt least for this week.<\/p>\n

I’ve even decided there’s a few good things about our elder years.<\/p>\n

Something for you to look forward to.<\/p>\n

Write these in your diary and then look at them in a bunch of years.<\/p>\n

I generally give less of a damn about what people think of me.
\nA skill I wish I had in my 20’s when some lady turned me down for a dance at the local Friday night hangout.<\/p>\n

9:00 pm has become a socially acceptable bedtime.<\/p>\n

Gossip bothers me way less now.
\nI still like to hear the dirt on people though.<\/p>\n

I don\u2019t feel the need to join every single new social media network.
\nHowever, people can join this blog if they want too.<\/p>\n

All my friends are just as tired as I am.<\/p>\n

I have no problem telling people to go jump in a lake if they make me grumpy.<\/p>\n

Getting ready now takes less than 5 minutes because I wear what\u2019s comfortable and not too dirty.<\/p>\n

If I have a crush on someone, I just tell them.
\nThey like to hear it because they think I’m\u00a0harmless.<\/p>\n

Sadly I admit they are probably right.<\/p>\n

I ponder my late teens and wonder what the hell was I thinking.<\/p>\n

Vacations don\u2019t have to involve any plans besides naps.<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve learned to take everything a lot less personally.<\/p>\n

I guess that’s why us old folks are considered grumpy.<\/p>\n

I don’t care.<\/p>\n
