Okay, I'm not a good joke-cracker (is there such a thing!) but I'd like to share what my co-worker forwarded to me this morning. It's about this woman who went to the dentist for some dental work. She read the certificates and diploma on the wall and thought that the name seemed familiar. He could be the handsome man from high school who she had a crush on. Then the dentist came out to meet her and she immediately changed her mind because in her opinion, he looked too wrinkled and aged, too old to be in the same class as her many years ago. She asked anyway. He was delighted by the question and even uttered, "Oh yes, I'm a Mustang!" to which she replied, "Then you must be in my class". And this decrepit and very-old looking for her man said, "Yes maybe. WHAT DID YOU TEACH?"
I suck at delivering jokes. But you know what, this is so true! How many times in class reunions did we have those thought bubbles floating above our heads thinking how bad some of our classmates have aged? Not realizing that they are having the same thought bubbles above their heads, thinking of exactly the same thing about us.
I realized that facing the mirror some months ago. Remembering that only about three years back, I was still getting carded heavily in clubs or whenever I bought my wine at the store. I was carded big time on my 34th birthday! At 37 and looking closer, my eyes now reveal traces of the years behind me. Beginning crow's feet, more freckles than the bunch I used to love...I panicked at one point and started a shopping spree for age-defying skin care products. I thought I was going to start the regimen at 40 but it happened too soon. The hubs is amazed at how much goop I pack on before bed. It smells good though, so no problemo, amigo!
Right now, I'm watching my usual friday night Criminal Minds marathon and noticed how many former cast members of 90210 were tapped for different episodes. Each one, in my opinion, looking so much older--horribly aged, if I may say--than how they used to be back then. I belong to the same era. I wonder if I would think that of myself if I was watching me.
I think I'll be fine, as long as I age gracefully.
