Hello Jazzlovers,
A beautiful cold day in Beautiful Bahrain.
This birthday I am now officially a senior citizen!!I went from middle age to old age in one day..Now the amazing thing about this change in life is I don't feel it!!Now I know the Mirror can and often does LIE to us..( Just look at how some people leave home dressed!) but I don't think I look it either, but when I was younger and growing up, people the age I am now were old in looks and action, (maybe the mirror does lie..)but I am very busy and active, I go to the gym so I am in pretty good shape for an old man......So I guess my reason for opening this discussion is when do we start being old? Is there a rule book that says our actions must change? I have noticed that people do treat me differently,and I do tend to speak my mind more often than I did in the past!(My Grandmother use to say , (when she let loose a zinger) " I am old enough to say anything I want too" and I think I do understand that now. Hummmmmmm! I think it is because you Recognize BS as soon you see it! That is called experience..

I love fashion and I feel like I have my own style, I don't try to dress and act 21, but since I have crossed that line, is there certain thing I can not wear anymore? I started greying about 25 years ago and I don't color my hair, ( deliver me from bad dye jobs) I love my silver hair and beard,and I do wear glasses but I have quite a collection of fashionable styles ( I have worn glasses from age 12) and I am very comfortable with the styles I choose as they are part of my wardrobe...this is a real debate in my head right now. Is my life supposed to change because of a number?

What I have noticed is that I am developing a love for animal print shirts, bright jewel toned sweaters, and leather pants and jackets but does that mean I am joining the ranks of old men who wear stiped shirts and plaid pants? Do I look ridiculous when I think I am looking good ? Who wrote that book anyway? But the body is looking good and my energy level remain high so I guess I am really am as old as I feel....I did not realize this was a dilemma until I started writing tonight. When I sit down to write I never know where it is going to go...Is that Jazz?

The big question is what about Love???? I do want to love again, that is clear in my heart and my mind but where does love stop coming our way!! I know so many old folks that have given up on love, is that a part of the aging process? This month also marks the 2 year anniversary of my breakup and I have given myself healing time...so what is next I really don't know...But I had a wonderful birthday celebration this year, and will always remember this one..thanks to my friends at Betty Too and The Web....Thank you guys very much....
