I must be getting old

Beside the fact that I have a few grey hairs and a 'laugh line' or two, I also seem to have a wonderful crop of eyebrows and nose hairs that seem to keep popping up.  The other thing that I've noticed is that I seem to get weepy for no apparent reason. 
I grew up something like the song that Brooks and Dunn did with Reba, 'Cowgirls Don't Cry', because really, cowgirls don't cry.  Not over a lost love (men are like busses, if you stand on the corner long enough, another one will come along), not over falling off your horse (get up, dust yourself off, and get back on).  But lately? 
I tear up standing in a crowd of people at a sporting event when the national anthem is playing.  To be in the middle of a crowd of 20,000 plus people all singing it with passion brings a huge lump to my throat and tears start to well up.  I was at the Stampede a couple of years ago and there was a presentation on the Born to Buck program that the Calgary Stampede runs and what the hell?  The clips of the mares running on several thousand acres with their babies made me tear up!  How much of a wuss did I look like? 
I was over at Mom's to watch the Kentucky Derby last year and when the anthem came on, I started.  To hear everyone singing the anthem and to see the military men in their uniforms, standing at attention got me going.  As the race was coming to an end, I started as I was watching the final strides of the winning horses, giving everything they had, just doing what they were bred, trained, and loved to do. 
The last part of the movie "Hidalgo" where Viggo Mortenson's little horse is 3/4 lame and cut up and giving his all for his owner makes me downright sob!
And don't, please, come over to watch Extreme Makeover, Home Edition with me.  That's usually a 2-hankie show.
I can see it with the loss of Murphy who lived with me for 18 of her 26 years, Piggy who lived with me all of her 9 years, and Butch and Harley who would have done anything for me, but a movie horse that I know wasn't hurt during the shooting of the movie, or a new house for people I don't even know?  C'mon.............
