I do feel a calmness about myself that I just couldn't ever get when I was younger. There is something to be said for maturity. However, I do dread old age. I know women in their fifties who look close to 70. I look 10 years younger than I am. When I tell these women that yes, I graduated college the same year they did, they just stare at me in disbelief. Maybe I shouldn't mention it.
