Looking much older than my years!

I have quite frequently been mistaken for my mother's sister or my sister's mother! last night someone assumed I was my friend's mother even though she is 10 years older than me.

I have never been concerned about ageing, believing that it is a natural process to be embraced rather than fought against. I and forward thinking in my attitude to life and I don't think I am that old fashioned in my dress and demeanour.

Today I met some former colleagues at a function. They told me that I looked younger than I did when I retired on ill health from teaching, nine years ago! I wonder why? wink
