the older i get...

The other morning while I was getting ready for work I got to thinking - the older I get the more my life priorities seem to change. I'm sure a good ten years ago I was substantially less concerned with how thorough my facial moisturizing regime is, but now I make sure to set aside time to slather on a variety of products to get me through the day. It's funny how all these little things seem to shift in importance and I thought I'd come up with a top ten list of the life lessons I'm learning the older I get. Behold:


Ok - so I mostly just think about yelling at teenagers to put a coat/some pants on while they're shivering out there scantily clad in fridged winter temperatures but I do like to exaggerate from time to time. So how about you? What priorities are you seeing shift as you age?

    Definitely agree with points 5, 8, 9 and 10. I was in the changing room at the gym last night and there were 3 teenagers having the most ridiculous conversation that hinged on 'only' getting 70 likes on their new profile photo. It made me feel old...

    I agree with this 100% I was talking to a co teacher about how my kids roll in at 8:40 with coffee and resent me for having an early class then leaving them with a 4 hour break. I told them all that in the real world they don't get any breaks!
    My co teacher told me I'm getting old...

    Did I tell you that already? I don't even remember when that happened...to you like Tom Cochrane's Life Is A Highway? I love it and pretended to sing to it (thanks Songza!)

    I totally agree with number six ... although I also wish that sometimes comfortable footwear could look cuter than it often does! ^_^

    i agree with pretty everything above. it's funny because i get carded and get told how young i look and even still feel like I'm in my early 20's. Yet when I actually am around (most) early twenty-somethings I feel so old and have nothing in common with (most)them. Puts everything back into perspective that I'm turning into an old lady!
