That's an interesting question. In some ways I'm definitely older. I don't dye my hair, so am sure a lot of younger folks think I'm about half dead. I don't think I wear old-lady clothes, but sure don't care too much about what's in fashion. My mother got quite heavy and I haven't, so there's a difference. And I was quite active until a serious illness laid me out; I'm lucky I can walk and am much stiffer, but bit by bit....

One thing I have noticed, which used to frustrate me when I was younger, is that I, too, no longer get that worked up about things. I think we have all seen plenty of elections, natural disasters, wars (unfortunately), sickness, and celebrity scandals. After awhile you learn this too shall pass....
