How do you know when you are getting older?

I know I am getting older when I change the way I make decisions. Used to be a long drawn out process of evaluating all the options, figuring the pros and cons and weighing them all, asking confidantes for input, then mulling it all over some more.

Now, it is a simpler process. Wish I could chalk it up to something esoteric and wise. But, it is just necessity. Too much thinking wastes too much precious energy. And, at this age, getting lost in thought literally means forgetting what you were supposed to be mulling over.

The best part of this change in process comes with a change in attitude. A bad decision is no longer the end of the world. It's just a booboo.
