People often talk about the limbo of turning 20. No longer are you a teenager, but neither are you an adult. You can drive, but you can't drink. But really, that's not so bad. It is but one year, and the rocking twenties have just begun.
Turning thirty. Now that is a turning point. Most of us are working, building towards something. Some of us are married. Yet we feel that we are as vigorous as ever. How do we deal with this? Working out? Hanging out with younger friends? Or just behaving as you always have?
Here's a little anecdote on ageism:
When I was fourteen years old, I was amazed at how unintelligent my
father was. By the time I turned twenty-one, I was astounded how much
he had learned in the last seven years.
-- Mark Twain

What a stupid topic. I wonder who thought of it.
Oh, that would be me.

Remember the tv show, "thirty something"? I used to think gosh those folks are old and here I am too. As I grow older I take comfort in knowing that being a crochety old woman is a well laid out role in life and one that I can take to with great ease. But not not just yet. Tried working out, but it is toooo much work.
Getting old is really not that bad. I just don't want to grow up is all.
