I'll turn 74 in November. I have to own up to it as we have passed our 50th anniversary and two of our children are knocking at 50 years with two others into their 40's.

This thread really gave me a pick-me-up that I needed. Listening to all of you say how much you enjoy the age you are at is wonderful. I'm 29 and will be turning 30 this October. I'm having a hard time with it. It just feels like I've been twenty something forever and I've taken that for granted. I know I'm not going to explode or anything when I hit 30, but it just feels like it's the end of something. My husband is 15 years older than me so he doesn't sympathize at all. :)

I think 30 was hard- only because time goes slower and it seems like such a turning mark (and it is). Hitting 40 and 50 put it into perspective! Make the most of it. I think we went to bermuda when I turned 30- mark it in a big way!

Well, I do believe this group is composed of "mere children." I will be 79 in September, have moved to a retirement complex due to my husband's poor health, but inside I feel much, much younger.

Age is a mind set, so with that I will say 25. In years I am 59 and loving my retirement. For the first time in my life I am able to stay home. Didn't know if I could adjust, but now I wonder how I ever worked and got everything done. I LOVE it. More time to quilt. :wink:

It's funny. I have been telling my sister the other day. Gee, I am 56 and nearing 60. She said what??? DH overheard and said your not 56 your 55... are you rushing things.
Ha, forgotten how old I was or should I say young. I am young at heart and just love my age

I'm also 56 and also been told I look younger. Been told that all my life in fact. In my high school yearbook, I was named "most likely to be the first adult Gerber Baby Food model".

Anyway, instead of saying I'm 56, I prefer to say "I'm 40, plus shipping and handling".

I'm 51 and proud of it. Can't get any younger . Aways have to move forward to better things. So we get better with age like a fine bottle of wine.
