Well it's official in less than 10 days, I will be 39. I've thought off and on that perhaps I am having a mid-life crisis, but nah, I'm pretty much the same old Julie. Not much has changed. I'm a flat plane of bubbly happiness just like i've been most of my life. Oh, don't get me wrong I have the occasional bump in the road resulting in moodiness or crankiness (typically arriving like clockwork once a month (wink,wink))
As I sit here typing on this cool spring Sunday morning... you would not think me your 'typical' 39 year old.. I am sitting on the couch ear buds firmly in place jamming to Pink... I am wearing Superman pj pants and have my hair pulled up in a high ponytail on top of my head with NO makeup (GASP!). Definitely not looking like most 39 year old women I know.
I know I don't feel 39, I feel the exact same physically as I did when I was 20's .. well perhaps there is a telltale sign or two that i'm not a young thing anymore... Occasionally my body will rebel when attempting certain tasks, my ankles are horrible condition from multiple fractures, my left knee can get achy. I have a few medical ailments that are easily remedied with medication. I have the very start of some teeny tiny fine lines under my eyes, but otherwise not many wrinkles (Thank you Jesus for making a sunscreen FREAK and giving me the sense to stay away from the sun when possible!). Gray hair seems to be my only aging vice. I started getting it in my mid 20's and have not readily wanted to admit to or live with it. So every 6 weeks my hair is in a state of color flux. I've had black, dark brown (most of the time), auburn, blond highlighted hair over the past 15 years.
I don't feel 39, I am told by all my friends (whom I am sure are just being kind) that I definitely don't look 39. However, friends have to say these kind of things so I don't let it go to my ego :P
I feel age is more of a state of mind than a state of body. So therefore; unlike 29 ... I have a feeling I'm going to sail into the ending of my 30's with celebration and a feeling of accomplishment rather than a sense of trepidation. 39 is where it's at baby! 39 is HOT! I will continue to tell myself this ,even if I am deluding myself. If you see me around please continue to feed my delusions for as long as possible , this will make me a happy camper :P
