Age 46

Well, I'm a 46 year old man and I'm happy with that I have had a lot of experiences in my life and have been very lucky to have so many.   I do get depressed sometimes thinking that well if I live to 90 I'm past middle age. Also I look in the mirror and sometimes I see wrinkles or little gray hairs (yeah I'm lucky for this age to have only a few) but, it bothers me because even though I don't want to be in my twenties anymore I miss being young sometimes although like my mother always tells me she is a 20 year old trapped in a 71 year old body.  So I guess I'm a 20 year old trapped in a 46 year old body.  But, tonight my night was made.  I had a goal to get legitimately carded at age 40.  I did at age 42 and thought well I'm happy that surpassed my goal and I will be happy forever.  Well, tonight going into our local casino with my partner I was carded and at first I thought it was a joke but no they would not let me in even when my partner stated that the man was really in the wrong.  I did not argue I was happy to pull out my ID the guy carding me was embarrassed and his co-worker started laughing when they both realized how old I really was.  It made my day, my night and well probably the rest of my life.  I have to say I don't agree and maybe he did need glasses as my partner stated but it sure felt good to be asked again.  So what is an age it is just a number we are all young at heart and we are all beautiful to someone so just smile and go with the flow.  Joe
