56 until February
I know why the years fly faster. When you're 3 a year is 1/3 of your life - that's a LOT. When you're 56 a year is 1/56 of your life - not so much. So perceptually - they ARE going faster!
I teach full time and have an after-school piano studio. Our son is a single dad to a 3 year old and he's over here a lot. My quilting time is often in the wee hours. All of that keeps me too busy to think about older. I do wonder why chasing this 3 year old is so much more work than it was when I was chasing his dad!
I also have awesome family and church examples of people who energetically and gracefully have moved through their 70's, 80's, and even 90's. What a legacy for me!
