Are you glad or happy to be the age you are now?

At 77 and being the guardian for a 16 year 0ld female for the last 4 year, Id do it again if the man upstairs wants me around longer.
I love life and STILL in very good health.

I would go back to 20 in a heartbeat and do everything all over again,exactly the same as the first time. Well,maybe a few minor changes,but not many. But I`m OK with 64 so far. Right now I`m very bored with not having any foster kids,and I feel like I`m starting to isolate myself. Don`t like that. Hubby went to work for his 8 hour day at the body shop,then text me to say that the school called and asked if he could work for 3 hours tonight,so he won`t be home til 8. Don`t know how he does it-that`s a looong day,and the school job is hard,physical work. Body shop job can be easy (mostly computer work) or hard (lots of estimating). Hoping he has an easy one there today. I know that,at 64,I could not do the hard work that he does at 66. But,yeah,I know that both of us would love to be younger.

I got let go at 50 from a job for being too slow they say. I pass all test with flyimg colors. the dope manager was older and ugly.
 

Here I am at 80 and feeling in pretty good shape for the shape I'm in. Glad to have made it this far, many of my friends and colleagues have not. I have enjoyed a full and exciting life thus far and am looking forward to it's continuation.

I have no idea what 80 feels like, just hope it will not hurt and I can be as alert as I'm now. When I see someone in near 80 I ask how does it feel, they seem OK I thought I was going to die when I turn 40 then 50 came and went A joke from someone in the 50 range said if he knew he was going to live this long would have taken better care of himself
 
Just months short of the big 8-0 I make sure to peek out to see who is at my door when the bell rings. Don't want to open to someone dressed in black carrying a scythe... :D

I don't picture you being 80.. I picture you about fifty and looking like Woody Allen.. Don't ask me why.. It would be funny to have a thread telling how we picture some of the people here. lol! OR..... mebey not..

I thought you were still flying, OM.

I wouldn't mind being 50 again, but would not want to be much younger than that.
 
Well...I'd be happy to go back to being 45 or 50.....I'm hardly old now at 60, I know that , but this last year I've had more go wrong with me than ever before, so I'd be happy just to rewind a few years and be more physically fit and in less pain.. :)
 
I posted on this thread when it was new almost a year ago, but I am very happy with the age I am now - 63. But I'm still healthy so that helps. Wouldn't mind having the face I had when I was in my early 40's though. ;) I physically feel about 40 and have lots of energy, but the mirror tells the truth!
 
There are decided benefits to being 65..my present age. I think retirement brings a lot of freedom to do your thing as no other age did. I liked being every age I've been..this is just a new phase. I'm very thankful to be here..there is only one way to live life and that's forward.
 
I'm glad I've still got an age and not yet an ancestor but I'd like to start over again. 65 would be just fine.
 
Exactly, if I could be 25 and know exactly what I know now. One kid and focus on career...could have spared myself so much pain and suffering and squirreled a mint to retire comfortably.
 
No I want my youth back or at least 20 years earlier
but I dont want to relive the same 20 years.

I think we all want to be younger but will not admit it.
