I hope that I can still feel young even when it's decades from now, even if there are other aspects of my life that make me feel old.

Now I'm not the oldest, but I'm now old enough to be the mother of most of our new hires. The first time I felt old is when a group of them stop talking about their previous night's escapades when I walked into the room.Savvyworkinggalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08159197609419858161noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2445163857888749606.post-36155553292282976422014-08-13T23:12:14.903-05:002014-08-13T23:12:14.903-05:00Hi Murees,

My younger cousins have to explain to me how to use other types of social media and I wonder how a ten year old could figure such things out, when me (28) can't. Just remember one is only as old as you feel. Stick to the things that make you feel young.Murees Dupèhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11781339206465690961noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2445163857888749606.post-88241966869819235422014-08-13T00:08:32.573-05:002014-08-13T00:08:32.573-05:00Hi eemusings,

If I did that, I wouldn't have to squeeze fiction writing into my schedule; I could devote my life to writing instead.
