V thoughtful. With the countdown to retirement starting I have to decide, your key word here, for me.  Nice work mr V

Thank you so much!  I always like it when my poems make people think.

You go, Gurl! Compared to me you are still pooping yellow.   Love this poem, Val. Sometimes we have to give aging the finger and carry on... if we open our eyes in the morning, we're winning.  

  Thanks, Gary.  I'm glad you liked it.  I hope we keep on winning for decades to come

When I was reminded I could remember when dirt was rocks, I decided it was time to live as the boy in my head wanted to!!!

  I feel like I want to cheer right now

Given being at ease with myself is a comparatively recent phenomenon, I wholeheartedly agree you, Val. Grow old (dis)gracefully as you choose.  🤨😄

If only we knew then what we know now... Given the choice, I choose disgracefully!

It seemed like I had one of those days more often as I got older, but like you stated, there comes a point when you just don't give a shit any more.  Thanks for that little trip down memory lane for me.   

I'm glad you were able to relate to this poem.  Thanks for reading and commenting!

I hate the stranger in the mirror too, but fifty isn't old. I think it's reasonable these days to aim for triple figures, and maybe buy one of those curved mirrors from the fun fair.

Somehow I missed seeing this comment.  Sorry about the late reply, but thank you, and I think I'll get one of those mirrors!
