I still have 9 months until I turn 30, but I hate to say that I have been thinking about it everyday and dreading it. I still feel young. I think mostly the part that I hate is that now I can say I'm in my 20's which makes me feel young. When I turn 30, I have to say I'm in my 30's which lumps me together with women who are 39. (Not that there is anything wrong with being 39). As a teenager, I didn't want to live past 40. From a teenagers point of view, what is there to do or live for after that? Well as I near 30, I realize that man is there a lot of life left in me. I don't want to turn 30, and I also don't want to be one of those ladies that claims to be 29 at 50. I also wonder if I'll be one of those people where even if I am 30, they'll think I'm in my 20's. I guess that would give me at least some satisfaction, and I wouldn't feel so old then...maybe.
Oh, and I just found my first gray hair. :(

ok, this made me laugh! I remember turning 30 and feeling young! 27 was hard for me. Now that I am closer to 40 than 30 (and certainly 20) I wouldn't want to be anything but older! I figure I just keep getting better and so will you. I found my first gray a while back. Old is how you feel so feel young even when you are 30! :)
This all so true. I am coming closer everyday to that 30 mark.
Most of the time I don't feel old at all I still feel like I am 20.
But then I look at myself in the mirror and notice my hairline receeding.
Everytime I wash my hair I find loose hairs that I never did before.
I notice gray hairs from time to time when shaving or doing my hair and that makes me feel a little old.
But it is true what Danae said about age. I have seen 80 year old people who still consider themselves young.
I have also seen 25 year olds that don't take care of themselves and look like they are 30.
I guess this is one of those timesd in my life where I am grateful that I don't look my age still anyways.
I had a coworker tell me the other day that I look too young to have 3 children. :)
I was so happy to turn 30. At the time I had two daughters in school and all the other moms were in their 40s. I felt like such a baby still being in my 20's. Being 30 is great! I started pulling gray hairs at about 31 and when I turned 35 there were too many to pull. So now I dye my hair, which is a pain. So, enjoy that one gray hair. Happy early birthday!
