It's All In the Swing

Who says I’m getting old? My hairs are not gray Its beautiful sterling silver The finest silver around Who says I’m getting old? My face isn’t bright red I’m not having hot flashes I just have constant sunburn I love the outdoor Who say’s I’m getting old? Not me I’m as young as I feel Tennis anyone?

I'm "swinging" right there with you, Laura! The "hot flashes" and "sunburn" made me laugh. This is a graceful perspective on aging. I agree with Carrie -- You Go Girl!
