I’m 40.  There.  I said it.  Funny - I don’t “feel 40″ but everywhere I look I am reminded that I AM getting older!  I take really good care of myself, I try to exercise when I can, eat right, all those good things.  But, I’m still aging.  ugh!  And EVERYONE has to remind me of that simple fact.

I had both children after I turned 35.  They make you feel ancient because they place you in the “ADVANCED MATERNAL AGE” category!!!  

I also realized sometime before I turned 40 that I was having to hold things farther away to read them than normal.  I can’t read small print as well as I used to.  Then I found out that once you turn 40, you’re supposed to have a mammogram EVERY year.   

But, today was the REAL kicker.  I’ve been having problems with my eyes being very dry - it’s been going on all summer.  So, I googled it on the Internet to see what some of the “causes” might be.  There are a number of things that can cause dry eyes.   But you know what was listed among them?   AGING.
