Open Thread Update: We Know We’re Getting Older When…
We kept this Open Thread open for another week, and the new responses are thought provoking….
“When what people are studying in history, we remember.”
-Martin
…touching…
“People start offering you help with snow removal before the snow starts falling (not that I’m complaining!).”
-Amelia
…and sometimes just spot-on – and hilarious!
“When I realized that all my shoes have flat heels, and 2″ is HIGH.”
-Bobbie
We’re going to keep this Open Thread going for a while longer – and maybe revisit it again sometime in 2021, so keep those responses coming…we’d love to hear from you!

When. You find a rotary dial phone in a box in the garage.
I realized I was getting older when it became more difficult to see over the steering wheel – I shrunk and my 30 year old car seat compressed! Problem solved with a pillow.
I.knew I was getting older when a young woman offered her seat to me on the Subway…. I was surprised, but said Thank you!!!
When a young man rushed to my side on a hill during the rain and offered me his arm! I loved it.
When I need a ladder to get things down from shelves that were always within reach before.
