The Anniversary of My 29th Birthday

Today is the 5th Anniversary of my 29th Birthday.
I’m reminded by people, mostly those who are older than me, that 34 isn’t so bad. They tell me I really shouldn’t complain, and basically that being in your mid-thirties is no big deal.
Then there are those who tell me that I’m only as old as I feel. I don’t know about the rest of you, but I’m not as sprite as I used to be. Honestly, I can’t even putting a little bounce in my step without running the risk of pulling something.
Now, God willing, I’ve got a lot of life left to live. Although I might not be over the hill, it’s just that the ascent to the top seems to be happening faster than I would prefer.
You want to know how I know this? Here’s how I can tell:
1. The last two pairs of shoes I’ve purchased were both made by Dr. Scholl’s.
and 2. You forgot to finish this post…
A friend of mine announced that his son just turned 39. I asked “was it his first time?” I’ve done it many times.
34? Jeez, kid. I’ve got stuff in my refrigerator older than you.
I’ll break this to you as gently as I can: You’re still wet behind the ears. It’s not until you’re in your 50′s and 60′s does all that accumulated life experience start to evolve into wisdom.
