1. Winter isn’t much fun anymore.
2. Neither are the really hot days of summer.
3. Everything takes longer – even getting out of bed in the morning.
4. It’s no longer a mystery how my Dad could take a nap after dinner.
5. I’m more concerned that my shoes be comfortable than that they be fashionable.
6. Some of the hair that used to grow on top of my head now grows out my ears and nostrils.
7. I’ve lived long enough to see my daughter doing things that were ridiculous when her mother did them.
8. I’ve had time to make enough mistakes that I no longer get so riled up about other people’s mistakes.
9. My messy desk no longer seems cool.
10. I don’t look forward to birthdays as much as I used to.

(Thoughts prompted by another birthday coming up in a few days and this post by Jnana Hodson )
