Grow old gracefully (read all 2 entries…)
I am SO not achieving this goal!! 9 months ago

I’m a few months over 27 now and I feel like I’m going on 49. It’s like I just got old overnight! One day I was cute and young and planning some fabulous life, then suddenly I’m facing the fact that I’ll probably never do most of the stuff I wanted. It’s really depressing. I hope it’s just a phase. I really am too young to feel this old!

marialeigh loves baby Rio so much. He's all that's keeping me going.

Yes, you are way too young to feel...

old. YOU ARE YOUNG!! You have so many good years ahead of you. I’ll be 56 this July. I will gladly trade you. Snap out of it. What’s bothering you right now that has you bogged down? I think it’s just a phase. You need to get over it and live and suck the marrow out of life.

Kel is glad he finished the yard work

A matter of perspective

Mike Wallace says many of his best work and best times happened during his 70s (he’ll be 90 next month).

When I talk to people older than I am, I hear things like, “It only gets better after 30” (which I find to be true), “Over 40 is SO much better than when I was younger,” and “the freedom I feel being over 50 is such a great surprise!”

Just keep on planning and doing. If you do things you love, you won’t think about stopping until you drop!
