In my swim class this morning, Joni asked how old I am. She said, "36?." I thought she was putting me on. She then asked our instructor - she said 38. You've got to be kidding. How can one explain this strange scenario.
--Perhaps the water droplets bring out a younger radiant sheen to my complexion...
--Perhaps the lighting is bad and they can't see the four inches of gray grow-out from my last coloring job. Hmmm...
--Perhaps it's because they are older and everyone looks younger than they really are when you yourself older.
Regardless of the reason, it made me FEEL young. I worked harder, kicked higher. I've decided to routinely cut 10 years off everyone's life and tell them so. It will certainly make the world a better place. (Except you Lanette. It may be hard to explain why my '13' year old is married.
I came across this website with some funny quotes. I copied my favorite, but if you wish to see the whole list... Random Thoughts

Of course you look young! And I really liked this one: ~Perhaps you know why women over fifty don’t have babies; they would put them down somewhere and forget where they left them.
I'll have to go look at the entire list.
I wish I could talk to you now. I wish you were still working here!!!!! I miss you so much. I am in such a venting mood (what's new!). I am currently dealing with 'cattiness.' WOmen. Hmmmmph.
Love you!
Hooray for looking 36 and 38! Your posts always make me smile and the quotes make me laugh. You have a way with words. Reading your posts is like talking to you in person. Keep them coming!
A water aerobics class sounds lovely!
Lorinda, thanks for making my day. It is always so nice when others think we are younger than we are. You are such a cutie and you do have a beautiful complexion even when you are not in the water. Thanks for all the great quotes too. I loved them all!
That's awesome! I think it's true that when people say certain things like that you look younger, thinner, etc. it can make you act differently, in a good way. And when you believe it, it's even more true =) Love you!
