What Age Am I anyway?

I have had some great discussions with people lately about generational differences. I heard someone say that 50 is the new 40. I had to laugh, my generation is no different then the ones before, we are just more vocal about it.

Some days, I still feel sometimes like I am still in my 20's. I am baffled by my aches and pains the next day after spending an afternoon in the garden. I am surprised to realize that my son is turning 21 next month. I just don't feel like someone who has a child that old.

What our kids don't know until they have kids is that although you become a parent, you are still yourself. I can vividly remember what it was like to be in college, and how I thought I was so grown up. I can understand my kids skepticism, after all, I have trouble remembering the name of the movie I saw yesterday, how can I remember something that happened 25 years ago?

I would never want to go back to my 20's. However, I can still feel like I am in my twenties with the wisdom and knowledge of someone in her 40's.
