After being gone a couple of weeks, I returned home to see my wife. Living apart has been really hard, and while I have plenty to do at my new job, it does get pretty darn lonely at night.
Upon arrival at home, I was in the kitchen in the morning, fixing myself a cup of coffee, when my wife stopped me and said, "You know, you look younger."
Really?
She went on to explain that the last couple of months she had really become concerned about me. I didn't look good. My color was off. I wasn't sleeping well. I looked tired and I looked old.
Not anymore.
I later went to an event at Lambeau Field that was being held by my old employer as I needed to pick up some things for my impending move, plus I'd been wanting to pick up a turkey blind. One of the first people I bumped into was a guy that had only recently joined our company. He walked up to me, shook my hand, and immediately said, "You look younger."
Later still, I ran into a friend, and together we took a selfie and sent if off to another friend. That person exclaimed upon receiving the picture that I looked 10 years younger.
I'm not sure if any of this is true, and if it is if it will last, but it's nice to know that, at least to a couple of people, I look like I feel.

I'd suggest that if others are saying it, it's more "true" than what you think yourself. Even more so if it's multiple people.
ReplyDeleteAnother guy I used to work with had the same thing happen. After he gave up traveling 4 days a week and working 80+ hours, I saw him a year later kand he looked remarkably younger.
