Ugh! Y'all don't know how many times I have drawn this card and put it back because I don't want to answer it! LOL! It must be karma that I drew this card again today! OK, enough already... I'll face the truth. I'm getting older! I'm not always happy about it!
Do you ever have this picture in your mind of what you think you look like? And then when you look in the mirror one day and say; "Who is that?" I do. I think my image of myself is what I looked like between the ages of 40 and 45! I liked being that age. Nowadays I see more and more lines on my face and saggy things. And lots more gay hairs! Graying at the temples isn't so bad, gray in the goatee... eh, it happens, but gray in the chest hairs! NO! I won't stand for it! Where is that Just For Men hair dye...??
What do I think I'll look like in 10 years? My dad. Lots more gray hairs... everywhere. Lots more wrinkles and lines. A tired look.
But! If I get my attitude in the right place about getting older it won't be all that bad. I have got to get adjusted to the fact of life that we all are aging and there is nothing I can do about. **epiphany** My character will be written all over my face, but what will it say? That I've given up on life? That I feel defeated and old as dirt? NO! If I work on the attitude now, you'll see someone who loves life, someone who lives life to their fullest, someone who loves a challenge and someone who is happy and at peace with their life.

Age doesn't bother me, so i guess I'll look ten years older.
I like getting older. I was born old on the inside and now my body is finally catching up.
You are right about 40-45 being the best age (I'm 43). I think I'm the happiest I've ever been.
With advances in modern science, in 10 years I plan to look 7 years younger. :-)
I will look like I do today, only 65 years instead of 55 years.
but I still will be kicking ASS!
I like getting older looking, hope getting some gray hairs in next 10 years.
