Ageing gracefully (I hope)

I know I am getting old because:

1. I've stopped speeding on the road.
2.I don't wear mini-skirts anymore.
3. I wear light, neutral make-up.
4. I prefer flats to stilettos.
5. I only like shopping for groceries.
6. I don't lose my temper so easily.
7. I am beginning to sound like my mother.
8. I prefer eating simple food.
9. I don't feel so awkward at social events.
10. I no longer do things I dislike, like roller coasters rides.
11. I am in bed by 10pm.
12. I can control my cravings.
13. I am more sympathetic and empathetic.
14. I prefer a quiet, simple life.
15. My sentences often begin with "During those days..."
16. I don't pig out anymore.
17. I've stopped sun-bathing.
18. I've stopped fretting about my grey hair and wrinkles.
19. I often think about retirement.
20. I'm happy and contented.
