I personally feel good about 41. I have patience, better pay, and I still look pretty good for my age. I do know I wouldn't ever want to be a kid again.

I am a senior citizen and there are many things I can no longer do as well as before. However, spiritually I feel as though I am in much better condition to do and think things I could never do before.

I am now 53 and Thankful to God each day he allows me to live. It is hard to age .... the aches and pains but I still look pretty darn good for my age 
An elderly lady told my yesterday I didn't look old enough to drive!  Of course I would love the opportunity to go back and do things differently but I'm very happy withmy life right now!!!!

You are only as old as you feel. At 32 years old, I feel younger than I did in my early 20s. I take better care of myself and I am happier. I don't worry about getting older.

I turned 37 in Feb, and my boyfriend is 53. Neither of us mind growing old, or being old, or getting older, LOL. Age has never really mattered much to me in my life... since I left home at 14, and got emancipated at 15, paying bills, living on my own, and etc... I have always felt older than those my age anyway.

However for the past 2 years or so... a few things about my age have been bothering me. Number one thing is that most of the women on my mother side of the family, including my mother have died young so to speak, well not young as in 20's... they died between the ages of 45-65 most though was actually between 45-55 if that. So looking thinking about being 37 almost 40... it has been weighing heavily on me. The other thing about my age and my boyfriends age... is I wish we had met when we were younger, so we could have more time together... But then again as he likes to remind me, that would not have been a good thing.... and he might have ended up in jail LOL. He just loves reminding me when I was born, he was 17, living on his own, & etc... LMAO

I turned 57 in Oct my age doesnt bother me i think like this you are only as old as you let yourself be.

[ktheodos]

as long as you're a kid at heart...it doesn't matter

I just turned 50. Age is just a number. I have some health issues but I'm Thankful for each and every day.

You're only as old as you feel inside...  That being said, at 26 I feel old at times working with youth, when I will mention a song or movie to them and they give me a puzzled look in return and ask what that is.  There's also the one time I had to explain to one of them what a rotary phone was and how it worked - that made me feel old.

I am 54 and I feel that I am in the prime of my life!  I went back to school and graduated with a bachelor's degree in May.  I'm looking forward to a new career and a new page in my life!  I raised a family, worked at a job that I grew tired of after 25 years, and then decided that It was time to do something that I wanted to do.  I had always felt bad about not going to college, so I decided to go back,.  It was hard, at times frightening, but always exhilarating.  Guess what???I just got accepted into a Master's Program at a major University!!!!  It's never too late and you're only as old as you allow yourself to feel.  Embrace your life,follow your dreams and just be yourself!!!!
