2010? Really?

In a couple of days we will all fall into a new year. My Goodness!! Is it really 2010?! It seems like just yesterday that it was 1965.

 2010? Blasphemy. Is it the 1960s somewhere else?

May I go there please?

Funny thing about getting old is, only the body ages. The mind, the thoughts, the dreams, the outlook are still young. If it weren’t for a few slight body aches..... and mirrors ~ I would still be young. If you didn’t know better, would you even suspect that I am …. Well, let’s not even go there. If I say it out loud, it becomes true. I know, I know. You look at me and see an old woman, but if you couldn’t see me, would I still be old?

I am not ready to embrace these ‘old’ moments.

 To hold the years accountable. To acquiesce to them. Perhaps I never will be.

Perhaps I will ride my Harley forever.
