STOP talking about how bad it is to get older!

I agree, I'm having the time of my life right now and feel as good as I ever have, and I've been an active guy since the day I was born. I may not be as strong or fast as I once was but I'm in much better overall physical, emotional, and spiritual health now than at any other point in my life. LIFE IS GOOD !!!

well . . . . talk to me when you're 43, but please do it loudly bc I won't be able to hear you. ha ha ha!!

I love, LOVE being 35. Yes, your body changes but that is whats so great about it, you get to change along with it!

LOL ! Loved this one !!!

Most of you are babies! I am 58 and didn't start running until I was 43. I have done 40 half marathons and 8 full marathons including one in Antarctica and Nepal. I have done several century bike rides and sprint triathlons. No more 'time of month'. I was fortunate to be able to retire early one year ago so now I have all day to bike, hike, run, do yoga, ski and I am learning to play bridge. I do some volunteer work and we moved to beautiful North Carolina last year. A bear walked through my yard tonight! I'm in the best shape of my life and I have friends well into their 70's who run marathons. I hope to be able to keep doing all of this until I keel over at age 100, hopefully while I am out on a trail or mountain somewhere! it is a great time of life!

Oh yeah, I forgot to mention getting the senior discounts haha!

You, m'lady, are an inspiration. I was depressed about getting older when I hit 30. But since I hit 40 seven years ago, I got a shot of something (not sure what that was) and now I'm back to acting and feeling like a 20 year old! Life is fun in every department!!!
Hope I can be as active as you are when I'm 58!

OH, HELLS YEAH!! I guess I had my "mid-life crisis" when I turned 39. But it didn't last long. I went back to college. When I finished my 2 Associate degrees summa cum laude, I got a full academic scholarship from the university of my choice. I finished my Bachelors degree in '09, graduating magna cum laude. Now, I spend my time writing, making jewelry from recycled material and helping my husband decide where we want to settle when he retires. (Making a "scouting" trip to AZ next week.) I'm turning 52 a week from today -- we plan to spend most of it at the Grand Canyon! Life is better than ever - the house to ourselves and no pregnancy (or contraceptive) worries! All I want is to make my goal weight so we can enjoy traveling (and other "activities") with as much energy & stamina as ever! •_~. The "good ol days" are NOW.

I'm 28 and am actually stoked to be turning 30 soon!

Lol why??

Well, I'm one of the people who doesn't relish getting older and who doesn't embrace every birthday. I had a really hard time when I turned 30. Something about no longer being in my 20's made me feel instantly less cool. I don't know why this is.. it just is. I don't feel 31, nor do I act it but yeah, I miss being in my later 20's.

I just don't understand people who say the best years of their life were high school or college. That sounds so sad. The best year of my life is whatever year I am currently living! Besides, when I am a senior citizen I will get discounts, and I can pretend to be senile while deliberately cutting people in the grocery line. "What was that, sonny? You were here first. Oh no, I was here with my husband's medicine. It is very important to him..."

After living through my 30's, I welcome the rest of my 40's, 50's, 60's...
If we can't expect to appreciate our lives more and more as we go along, then let me off the train now.

41 and loving it! I am in way better shape (cardiovascular) than I was when I was 21 and a fitness instructor.... BTW, also dating a man in his early twenties, and we are having a wonderful time!
