I think I’m eleven. Now you know everything.
I would be 37. I don’t know why that’s the age but it is, and I still feel 37.
I knew when I became 40 that that was enough. Since then, I have tried to be ageless — and as psychiatrists I have read agree, the mind controls the body and birthdays are aging. I have an agreement with me that I will never become 41.
I would be about 28. This quote doesn’t obviate the greatest Satchel Paige remarks of all time: “The social ramble just ain’t restful!” or “Don’t look back. Something might be gaining on you.”
12, 28, 35, 112 … depending on which day it is.
I’d be 40. Old enough to have a little wisdom, young enough to look forward to success or more success, and young enough to find new love.
Ageless….
I’d love to be 40-41 again. Something happened to me that year, and my confidencelevel was at its allj-time high. I was working out twice a day and my body was in the best condition it has ever been in.
Ah well…when I think about it, approaching 66 isn’t bad either. If I knew then what I know now, etc…..
Yes, Diana, I’d be 40 also. As I recall, things were going well, and I thought I knew who I was and where I wanted to go. I had good friends and was relatively happy. Yeah, 40 was a good year. Patrice
Ditto Mugsy….thought we already are.
“Time and Gender are of this world.” Swami Prabuddhananada.
I am 74. I would be 47 with a dyslexia problem.
Hey Mugsy! I feel timeless! LOL! But I had my 61 a few months ago and it took me awhile to get back to timelessness. You’re just having yours and right in the middle of it…you’re in agelessness.
Happy Fabulous Birth Celebration! You are an ageless gift to us all!!!!!!!!!!!!
With what I know now—32. No question about it.
In dog years I’d be 5, maybe 6. Ditto Joan! Any younger and the only way I learned anything was by experiencing it. At 40 I no longer needed to stick my hand in the fire to know I was going to get burned.
