On Getting Old

How did this happen so fast?
Tomorrow, I will be...well an age that I thought would happen hundreds of years from now. An age so close to 40 that I sort of want to vomit, cry and punch someone all at the same time.
Oh sure, some of you might be older but this IS all about me!

I know I'm getting older because my body is starting to betray me.
I found a few grey hairs.
I have back pain sometimes.
I have tiny wrinkles close to my eyes.
and most shockingly, my breasts aren't exactly where they use to be.

So, why, when we start getting older, do we even celebrate birthdays?
Because we're alive?
Pfft! Big deal. I bet there aren't orthopedic shoes in heaven!

I just wanted to let you know that Terry Falk had passed away. I was Googling him to see if he had a website set up where I could buy more of his pieces (the last one I bought was in 2002, when I last lived in Austin) and I came across your blog. I also found that he passed away almost a year ago, quite unexpectedly, July 10, 2007. So very sad. Just wanted you to know - sounds like you love his work as much as I do. :)
