The "older woman"

On my morning run today, I saw a bunch of saree-clad women taking a walk. Their clothes, their gait, the way they were talking, everything branded them as 'older women', and I was secretly thrilled that women of 'that age' from older families were starting to get fitness conscious. As I jogged past them, I overheard snatches of conversation, and deduced that most of them were my age. And yet, even on an absolute scale, I had dubbed them "older women".

Am I getting delusional about my age, or are you really only as old as you think you are?

When it comes to staying young....

I'm turning Four Oh next week. Fabulous, fantastic, freaking awesome are some of the adjectives that I plan to affix to that age. A birthday is just an arbitrary date, but it is a great time to take stock of how far you've come, and how much further you can go. I'm excited.
Many of my friends are turning forty too this year. Not everyone's happy. There are people feeling depressed, because thinking of the looming birthday makes them feel soooooo old.
I guess attitude is everything.
