600 seconds at lunch - I am waiting for my mirror...

… to reflect the twenty something woman I feel and not the forty something I have become. Yes I know if I saw a young thing blinking back at me it would be untrue but I don’t feel any different now to when I was in my twenties. Is that really true I wonder? Back then I had no value of the planet or the environment now I am a tree hugger extreme. I thought are was for the geriatric now I paint, draw and write for hours each day. I longed to be a partner to share my life with another now I long for a place where I am alone and do what I want without constant interruption. I still listen to heavy rock but now I enjoy the opera and classics too. I have patience whereas back then everything had to be instant. I appreciate how my parents felt when I played my music too loud or watched TV till the early hours keeping them awake, my young children do that to me now. Maybe I don’t feel twenty something at all.
