A Baby Boomer's Life

This thing called aging, what's it all about? Does any of it make a difference?

When I was six I wanted to be 10. At 17 I wanted to be twentyone.

Then of course at 25 I wanted to be thirty. But when 40 hit I wanted to be 25 again.

Now I am 70, fortyfive looks real good. Is aging such a bad thing?

When I was 4, I played with dolls while my brother amused himself with trucks.Records spun on turntables when we were both teens. While having my hair done and meeting boys at eighteen my brother was hot rodding around town. I was taking care of my babies at 25 while my bro found a good job so he could care for his family. Forty brought the thought of life after kids. 45 was the start of a new life. The older one.

60 ? What to do? Too old to do some things but still too young not to !

So now at seventy I wonder if I have made a difference in my or any other peoples lives. If not will I still have time to make a change so this aging is all worth it?
