Time Happens

The alarm bell goes off when you go into Forever 21.
The clerk at the Gap asks you if you are shopping for something for your granddaughter.
You have to have a breast lift to wear a Bebe shirt.
Your husband answers you by saying, “Yes Ma’am”.
You wish you were driving a car that didn’t talk to you.
You talk back to the instructions from the Navigation system in your car.
You have no interest in the feminine products aisle in a drug store.
You have to make a choice between sneezing and not sneezing, on a sneeze-by- sneeze basis.
Your children don’t laugh anymore when you do something out of character.
Comfortable shoes don’t look so unfashionable anymore.
You read the small print on the restaurant menu to see if they offer a senior discount, and then ask the waitress if you don’t see one offered, and then order from the child's menu.
You invite the kids along on vacation so they can do the driving.
You store single serving dried plums (prunes) at your desk.
Coordinating your outfit is no longer a requirement, it’s an option.

If any of this sounds familiar, it's time you thought about eating less, exercising more, complaining less, laughing more, and taking time to smell (plant) the roses.
