Where I am- right here, right now, today.

I am young enough to appreciate the youth, but old enough to think that 58 is too young to die.  I like where I am in my life. I am young enough to appreciate life and those around me and yet old enough 'to know better'.  May I not be viewed as 'immature' but as 'playful' and be respected for who I am.  I think if you lose that 'playfulness' you do get old.  I think too many people get caught up in age and how others act within their age group.  Heavens, how many times have you heard "act your age".  Maybe I just don't want to today.   That's the Rebel coming out in me. 
The youth think 25 is old (I am sure I must have too) and the aged think that's a child.  Yet as we age, somehow the age difference seems to lesson and the views become more alike. I remember when my date came to pick me up.  My brother wanted to know what that 'old guy is doing here'.  You should have heard him go on and on (the 'old guy' was 29), funny how when he himself got to be 29 it wasn't "old" any more.  I like this place that I am at....I maybe old and fat, but I've got personality!
