Apparently you're about 17. If not literally, then intellectually.
Let's see - my husband is 56 and I'm 51. In the past year we've gone ziplining in the Smoky Mountains, hiking in the Yorkshire Moors of England, and spent the better part of a weekend partying up and down 6th St in Austin - just to name a few fun things we've done. In a few days we're leaving for New Orleans for Voodoo Fest weekend. We've gone parasailing, and are considering getting certified in scuba diving because we want to go to St Lucia soon.
If this is old or senile, it sure beats the hell out of working our arses off trying to pay the rent in our twenties.
And by the way, I don't have wrinkles yet. If I'm lucky, I'll live long enough to acquire them - and I won't be wasting time wishing I was younger - I'm living life to the fullest each day! MOVE FORWARD.
I don't mind aging. What I DO mind is sophomoric and immature people (who will be damn LUCKY to get to the age I am looking and feeling as great as I feel!) who feel some sort of misplaced sense of superiority based on nothing but their age - as if the person they're dissing hasn't already BEEN THERE DONE THAT.
Ask just about any fifty plus person if they'd take the chance to go back to their twenties - on the condition that they had to be just as stupid all over again as they were back then. You won't get many takers.
Because they don't seem to realize that with today's life spans, one is very likely to live a good 50 or even 60 years after that...making 35 definitely on the young end of the spectrum.
My gosh, how long do people think "middle age" lasts? By these standards, one is "middle aged" for thirty years.
That's one helluva long time to feel frumpy. Personally, that's not my mindset, or my style. I don't intend to be old for quite awhile yet, and I'm 51. Practically a baby.
I surely don't feel "old" yet at 35. Maybe to old to do body shots at the bar. But that's about it.

Hear, hear, could not agree more! ^^^ And I am older yet than Kathryn, yet I am in better shape than many women half my age! I work out EVERY SINGLE DAY, plus take care of my 1/3 acre yard by myself, and play several musical instruments just to name a few things! I am a long way from being "old", which by the way is mostly a state of mind and overall body condition, NOT how many years one has lived. And yeah, I would not want to go back to my "stupid twenties" either!
