I Am Too Young to ...

I've been thinking about it for a while and it is finally here. My list of "I am too young to..."

• stop wearing high heels with blue jeans.
• be a grandparent.
• give up camping.
• stop racewalking.
• give up white water rafting.
• win my age group in a half marathon. (Maybe when I’m 80.)
• wear bifocals. (I can't give up my contact lenses, even if I do need "cheaters".)
  
• be cantankerous, and have people think it is charming or cute.
• wear orthopedic shoes.
• stay home on a Friday night.
• give up happy hour.
• have to stop drinking red wine, quit eating eggs and watch my dairy intake.
• give up my dream of hiking the Appalachian Trail, the Grand Canyon and Machu Picchu.
• have age spots and crows feet.
• wear “mom” jeans.
• stop coloring my hair.
• watch the new Price is Right or Let's Make a Deal.
  
• need hearing aids. (My kids would disagree with this.)
• let myself get fat.
  
• have a daughter graduating from college. (She graduates on June 12.)
• stop dreaming.
