Old shmold!

I had a customer call me and ask if I had "that old film". When I asked her what she meant 110, 120, 35mm or other she said "ya that old film 35mm." We finished our conversation and a little while later a young, probably a freshman or sophomore in high school, came in and said she was the one that called for the old film.

It got me to thinking...she isn't that much younger than I am, or at least thought I was, and 35 mm film was old to her. What constitutes "old"? is it the age of the item? the age of the person looking at it? or the age in which it was created??

I have heard people say that they are "old" because they are turning a certain age? My mom at the age of 40 honestly looked older than she did when she was in her 50's. Maybe it is the feeling that a person has. If that is the case then let me tell you I feel about 100 years old today! Tomorrow will be a different age. Even though I am only 29 I feel that I have my "old" days and my younger days. New years eve I felt about 13...and that was a BLAST!!!

What constitutes "old"? there are many ways that it is described, "timeless" fashions and the "classy" ones. Furniture is referred to as "antique". Technology is "outdated"...the list goes on.
Is age a rhetorical question? Physically I am 29, mentally I may be older or younger, and spirit I have no idea. I think that age is what you are feeling when you feel it. We all age, that's a fact, but I think age is in the spirit of a person. I have known some "well seasoned" people that think and act younger. One for instance was 60, she had shorter spiky hair, decided she wanted to get her nose pierced. She looks great!! Another person, I don't know her personally only her son, turned 90 and wanted to go race at Nascar! What is in a number? We shouldn't "date" ourselves but rather live ourselves.
Never quite learning, having fun, or being young. Let your spirit be free, its youthful and energizing!
