Life begins at 40, right??

Somehow I just know you are going to make an exciting prune. Can we stand the wait??

That was never in doubt!!

Aren't I cute?

VERY VERY GOOD!! I like that. We do all have a choice on how we value things. Let's make the wonderful things the most important. That way it will always be good. Life is about living. That is what we should concentrate on. I will find some way to help others even when I hit 110. Just think of all the knowledge and stories I'll have then.

Yes, I too visit that site daily. Even a little over a long time makes a difference.

We help in different ways each day. Don´t wait until you are 110. I used to think I would die at 117 years of age, but now I have my doubts. So I work each day a little bit at the freerice site to donate some rice to the 2 billion undernourished people we have in our planet. I don´t think anymore that my beliefs will change the world, but I can put my grain of sand. AND I try to have as much fun as I can.

Yes, plan and set goals. Being organized always helps. We can create what we want in life. As you already know, it does take a bit of work.

Yes, that middle aged crazy can turn into a pretty big mess. I can't see much wisdom to that.

Wow! I guess the key is to keep active. If we ever settle on nothing but that rocking chair then we are done.

In my country, there are a rocker woman. She still active until the age of 70+.

I agree that men tend to get naughty at that age. I observed that from my father. The darn old goat started to have mistresses-it caused us much pain, especially to our mother who is suffering from stroke. Its a good thing though that currently he stopped having this vice. Or maybe perhaps he developed a way to hide it effectively? Nonetheless..we still loved him.

Yes, I have seen that video before. It's pretty amazing. Can't let age stop us now, can we, allknowing? sophiecheer, I guess 40 is about the time some men get middle aged crazy. We should all consider what our actions mean to others before we act. There are a whole lot more people than ourselves to consider.

@ sophiecheer - Still loving your father is the anti climax. Keep up the good work. We cannot judge anyone. @bird123 - As long as one is physically active, doing proper exercises one can carry on without remembering how old one is. And about men going astray I suppose that is how many men are.

Physically, there is nothing better than being 19 years old. Wouldn't it be nice to have the wisdom we acquired over the years at that time?? Life is indeed a journey. There is something to learn at every stage.

Yes, that is what life is all about. Don't forget we are also meant to teach others along the way whether we know we are teaching or not. Be brave enough to point others in the right direction once and a while. Sometimes we discover learning in that as well.

Nicely put! I think the best way to live is to remain a learner; a learner with the highest degree of awareness towards every moment of life!

You must share your view with the doom and gloom, complaining people of this world. You have lots to teach. Look around you. There is much for you to do yet.

OK!OK! Now that you are settled in good, you can really make a difference in this world. Hmmmm???? Where to start?? Where to start???? Hmmm???

Remember, brains win in the end. You narrow your options to a job. With a wider view you might discover more. What about starting your own business. With a good business model, one might search and find a partner to help with the capital. Enterprising takes brains along with hard work. The potential for reward is greater than simply working for others. We must constantly keep our eyes open for the possibilities. All the secrets of the universe stare us in the face, waiting for us to discover them.

Yes, as medicine and nutrition get better, people are living longer than ever before. You are right. Soon, 40 will be considered young.

I guess the important thing is not to let age get us down. Got to keep going even if it is a bit slower. Can't forget to share the knowledge you have acquired with others along life's path. You never know when something small will turn into something big for someone else.

So you discovered that you really didn't know it all at 20 years old. OK! OK! Life is truly a journey. You are right. There will be learning all along the path. Elderly people hold lots of wisdom. If those 20 year olds would realize that and tap that wisdom, look how many problems they could avoid. Life is a learning experience. Some choose to do it the hard way.
