20/31 Dusting Is A Good Time To Think


  Still writing and finding ideas for the Slice of Life Challenge at the blog, Two Writing Teachers.   
While dusting…

In a grouping of pictures in my front hallway hangs a drawing of what looks like an older man; it is inscribed with the quote:  “How old would you be if you didn’t know how old you are?”  Recent months have brought the saying:  50 is the new 40.  According to USA Today, March 3, 2010, “Baby Boomers, born between 1946 and 1964, make up about 26.1% of the U.S. population, or an estimated 78 million people.”  I am one of this group, actually a little older, surprised that I might now be called ‘old’, but celebrating the one thing about aging that holds positives:  anonymity.
