I've just been noticing that the backs of my hands are getting all veiny. Like I remember my mom's looking when I was small and noted the difference between her hands and my own smooth, young ones.

Sigh... No doubt the age spots will be next. Guess I might as well get used to it. :-P

A shame that physical youth is so brief, instead of lasting as long as our mental / spiritual youth.

Aw, thanks Mrs. Pip - I'm not too far gone yet, not quite 40, and I am also grateful that the genetics in my family usually allow for a relatively graceful aging. I'm not really feeling all that old, I'm just kind of looking at my hands and going "huh? These are mine?"
