JOY
Hitting the significant birthdays never worried me,you're just another year older,really. I can honestly say that I'm happier now than I've ever been.

What worries me now,is not getting old,but not having enough money when I'm old.I know that I won't have enough.That's why I need to win the lottery!

You're only as old as you feel,and most of the time I feel pretty good!

I hated the idea of turning 30 it petrified me and I kept it so very quiet but 40 was a whole new ball game ...I loved the idea and really went to town on it. had a huge party at the pub I ran and never flinched from the big 4 0 banners.
I also ran off with a customer not long after and have had some of my happiest moments out since then, mind I now keep the age quiet lol and will refrain from any more big bashes. They give me headache anyway at my age lol

My eldest now greets me by 'rearranging' my hair!! I swear she'll get a hanky out, spit on it and wipe my face soon!!!

I'm only 53!! Gawd help me when I turn 70!!

Growing older is a necessity, growing up is an option......

I think having children and grandchildren have always brought out the child in me and they continue to do so. I don't do handstands usually, but I do when my 2 yr old granddaughter is with me and she falls about laughing at Nana (silly old fool and, boy, they half kill me - SOBER too!!!) Spent the afternoon doing jigsaw puzzles with her, silly faces, silly noises, lots of laughter - beats housework and ironing any day!

Hi ladies,I'm 61, and when feeling depressed I think about all the women in my tree who didn't make it past their early thirties.

It usually puts everything in context.

Dosn't stop me hating the saggy boobs though!!
And the spare tyre.
And the varicose veins.
And the...........................................

I enjoyed my 30th, relished my 40th, and am thankful for making it to my 50th. Those milestones have never depressed me, it's just a number.

Ah Nina, now is when I really appreciate having no boobs - there's not enough to fill an 'A' cup, let alone sag. The last things to expand when i put on weight - the first things to shrink when I lose it!! LOL

I'm fortunate, I have no varicose veins - I have a spare tyre, but loose/smock tops cover that!

Thinking on what Joy said, does anyone else walk along the street wondering if that 'old lady' is older than her, the same age - or even younger?
I get on really well with a colleague at work - I'm old enough to be her mother - she's younger than my younger daughter - but age doesn't seem to come into it!
