When Your Kids Make You Feel Old

[abaris]

I asked my grandmother once how old she felt. She told me that she didn't really feel older than around 17 and still felt shocked to look in a mirror and see an old lady looking back at her.

That's one way to look at it and I tend to agree when it's all about feeling. But reflecting on what was important at age 17 and what's now important, tends to show me a different picture. My inner self has changed radically on social, political and religious issues for starters.
