Thanks, Marilyn! I needed your comment ... all of it!
I am also getting ready for my 40th this year. Where did the time go??? And why can't I get my "skinny jeans" zipped any more? Or if I can get them zipped, why can't I BREATHE?? Or sit down, or move??? Oh, my! Where did all these grey hairs come from??? And WHO is that old woman looking back at me from my mirror?!?!?!?!?! And why on earth doesn't she DO SOMETHING about all those wrinkles????? Really!!!
Oh, well. It is what it is. And I guess I had just better consider myself BLESSED that I can go to my reunion (last one I went to was 35 years ago). Probably every other one of my classmates is having the same "panic attacks" as me!!!!
So relax, girl. We ARE in good company!
YOu'll have a blast, Nancy! I have enjoyed getting reacquainted with my class. We've all matured, been through enough stuff to humble us, change our perspective on life and what's really important.
I do still have those moments of high school panic, but then I just say, "Get over yourself." Seems to work pretty well, LOL!
