Aging
posted in Funny, Health, Life |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.
