Looking ...My beloved Granny was 52 when I was born. Looking at the photos of her holding infant me, she is an old lady. She didn't wear the witchy shoes we've laughed about - she actually had a weakness for pretty shoes - but she was old. 8 years later, when she was 60, she was oldER. Still frisky in her head, but old and dignified and she didn't do some things she'd done when she was younger. She was still capable of doing them. She decided to forego them due to her age.<br /><br />I look at the pictures of you and I taken 2 days ago. We're not old. I'm only a year behind you. We look good, we're active, we're not finished becoming everything we can be. Of course, some of it is societal, but some of it is about who we are as individuals. Here's to youthfulness, no matter what the package may look like!<br /><br />True anecdote: when I worked with a gang of young men, one of them was particularly attached to me and we talked about a lot of things. He said, often: "You're so cool. I always forget you're old." Well.
