Well, physically, 40…no doubt, I was at my personal best then. But, wisdom and spiritually, I am where I need to be. Be careful with this question: Shoulda, woulda,coulda are dangerous traps we need to avoid.

Ditto Mugsy!! … although i wish i could spend more time with my sons as little boys, they were so much fun!! i loved being a mommy.

Physically, I’d like to be in my late 20’s when most everything worked, nothing ached and I didn’t need any maintenance medication. I’d like to be younger while keeping all my life experience (and the Lasik surgery).

I don’t mind aging even though the image in the mirror isn’t reflecting back the way I see myself mentally. Each year I live brings new things in my life. I couldn’t go forward if I were held back or returned to another age. I have confidence in myself and my abilities today that I didn’t have when I was younger. I am not afraid to take risks because I am beyond the point of caring what other people think. Going younger would not be an option.

Many of you have hit on it - I’d love to go back to 27, when my kids were little, but I’d want to know what I know now. Can’t have it both ways, I guess.

yeah mugsy….great response. for me, it’s not so much being a certain age again as it is, the life adventures i had at certain ages. every year has brought gifts, blessings and lessons. what’ll be a phenom is when i can vacation in those time frames again for maybe a day or week and send myself postcards.

Age 24 for me. October 21st, 1991, in the delivery room as my lovely daughter was born and my mom was right there holding my hand. Knowing now that I’d lose them both within the five years that followed, I’d have savored every single moment a little bit more.

Age is just a number, how you live your life is what counts!!!

If I could “know then what I know now” — I wouldn’t mind going back for a redo on somthings. Aside from that, I like where I am just fine.
