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.
Somewhere between 33 and 59. I don’t feel old or think of myself as old except fer those durn knees. But I’m gonna fix that.
At the time of my last birthday, last March 19th, I realized that it just didn’t make any sense to mark your life off by some sort mysterious measure. You are what you are until you aren’t — and I have no idea what or where that could possibly be. Time just floats on by, so I intend to just float on with it. Anyone wanna come along? Everyone’s welcome! We could even make room for a few guys. :):):):)
I would be old enough to read Shakespeare, prepare a family Thanksgiving dinner, see love in the eyes that matter, and understand the Golden Rule is applicable to every living person on this planet.
I would be 32…..I loved that age. Old enough to know things……Young enough to do them. The years between 30 and 40 are perfect for women. (I think)
I’m 76, People tell me I look 60 (I love that) and mentally I feel somewhere in my 40’s with all the experience of the added years. Now if my old body would cooperate I’d have it made! ha!
Actually I’ve always liked what ever age I am. I just hope to make it into my 90’s like my parents did.
I’ve never been age-oriented and still like exactly the same things I did at age 10: books, watercolors, dogs, poetry, outdoor exercise, flowers, can-do spirit, the beach, music, order, mischief. And when I was ten my grandmother’s French friend that I liked so much because she was so feminine, had sparkly blue eyes, and always wore cashmere and pearls said, “You’re just like a French girl.” The best compliment ever. Yes, think I’ll stay ten.
I would be 39. That’s when I realized I could just be me. I’ve decided that age is a state of mind. My voice is very young and new clients on the phone think I’m in my 20’s. When they meet me they think I’m in my 40’s. When they see the pictures of my grandkids, the oldest is 22, they are truly shocked. I’m 69 and some days feel 16, some days 99. 39 was when I moved yet another time and decided it was my turn to be who I am, do what I wanted and make the world better! I’m still 39. Mrs. C.
My mind is about 25 years old. My body feels like I am 75 years old. But I know once I get better and I take some more Collage courses and I am back teaching My whole self will be no older than 25 years old. Because of my dear friends here at Wow, I now have more courage and faith that life will get better! I thank-you all for your prayers and great ideas. Even though I got dizzy in the bathroom and fell and hurt my elbow. It hurts but I am still going on. Typing is not so bad with one finger. ….Love all of you !!!!!!
I liked my forties and I’m enjoying my fifties so like Mugsy and others I’d say ageless. I’d never want to go back to the angst of my teens and twenties . And when I think about it my thirties were a blur until I became really ill and needed surgery. Nope just fine in my skin from my forties onward.
Age is all in your mind, there I am 40! In the real world I am 66, just a number, I don’t let the real age scare me, because I know it doesn’t matter, what matters is how you feel and what you do with your life.
I like my birthday, this birthday i’ll be 44 and sex in the city is going to be released the day of it. i’m planning to go to the movies with some girl friends and then have a few martini’s after…. can’t wait. each year brings different challenges and more wisdom… and i hope i age gracefully and accept the inevitable results of gravity.
(my favorite years are probably 25 - 28) full of fun, travel, selfishness and independence. I could go out all night, sleep for 4 hours and go to work in the morning, then do it again the next day. I could waterski, without to much pain the next day.
I’m really excited about this year, i feel like i’m learning more about myself and being at peace with my life. I’m feeling good about my body too. (lost a few)… maybe i’ll climb blue mountain again this summer. :)
If I didn’t know my age I would think i’m 43 going on 44.
