Yeah I have to agree with that, does anyone else feel like that?

justjo · 11-18-2007, 01:09 AM

Well still able to have the door opened for me and yes more wise. May not have that 20 years old figure anymore but at the end of the day thats not important in my 40's. Life is what matters - not what size undies I have on.
Whats best about your life?

(LOL)

aspiresobriety · 11-18-2007, 01:17 AM

What's best about my life is that questions that I posed in my teens have been answered with the wisdom of age - however, age has bought along with it, a whole new litany of questions - how do you feel about ageing and how had it affected the questions that you've asked in life?

***indigo*** · 11-18-2007, 02:57 AM

I have changed and definately for the best how about you?

ccgirl · 11-18-2007, 01:22 PM

In most ways I've improved. There's a couple I could still improve on. Anyone else have any they want to share?

justjo · 11-19-2007, 03:32 AM

The one thing that stands out for me is 'I am a survivor'. Meaning I could do anything on my own. I now have confidence and ok with who I am 'inside'
What about you?

ccgirl · 11-19-2007, 04:26 AM

I like myself more, but I still worry about other people liking me. Does anyone else fell that way?

justjo · 11-19-2007, 02:25 PM

CC I use to feel that way (I couldnt even go to the shops, I was so lacking in confidence) Honey, the time you spend on worrying about what others think, put that energy into what a great woman you really are. Tell ya self all the good things you are, do and can do. It eventually worked for me.
Why dont you try?

WLDKATZ · 11-19-2007, 03:02 PM

hey cc who was looking at your reflection this am??? I kind of like it when ppl talk about me it means I am popular, just try it eh?

***indigo*** · 11-20-2007, 03:44 AM

I try it Katz now who else?

ccgirl · 11-20-2007, 04:37 AM

I'll try, but not too hard, because I haven't gotten my roots done yet and I don't want to look too closely, lol. Speaking of, who here surprises people when they tell them their age?

Japic05 · 11-20-2007, 10:39 AM

I do - most people don't believe I'm 43 & a grandmother of 6 with the 7th grandchild to be born in January - You think it's cause I cover the gray by highlighting my hair?

***indigo*** · 11-21-2007, 02:33 AM

Well no I guess the wear and tear have taken it's toll, how about anyone else?

***cmc*** · 11-21-2007, 08:54 PM

But should we act our age?

slash · 11-22-2007, 05:48 AM

What does it mean to "act one's age"? I am 35...how should I act?

(oooh --i answered a question with TWO questions! hehe)

ccgirl · 11-22-2007, 09:51 PM

One should act as much like a child as they can. Then they can "feel" things for the first time. Anyone agree?

GreenTea · 11-23-2007, 01:26 AM

Ever experience that child-like wonder of really looking at something for the very first time?

justjo · 11-23-2007, 03:24 AM

Mmm Im just me. I dont think I act any age. I can be serious, young, silly, business like or mum. I know my age but I dont care. Anyone else?

ccgirl · 11-23-2007, 06:33 AM

I agree, but sometimes it's hard to remember to have that childlike wonder. What can still make you catch your breath that way?
