Now that I near 80, I realize with wistful pleasure that on many occasions I was 10, 20, 40, even 50 years ahead of my time.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I always felt like my best years would be from 50 to 65 years old. I don't know why. It was a feeling I had even when I was really young.
Age puzzles me. I thought it was a quiet time. My seventies were interesting and fairly serene, but my eighties are passionate. I grow more intense as I age.
I really feel better about aging at the age of 86 than I did at 70.
I'm enjoying 40. Old enough to know better, young enough not to care.
I don't feel any different than I did when I was 40. But I realize mathematically, I'm equidistant between that and 80. I'll keep doing this for a while, but I'm not going to be one of these people who hang on just for the sake of being on the air.
I love being in my 40s.
I'd be happy to live till 80 as long as I was comfortable and in good health. Mind you, ask me again on the eve of my 80th birthday. Even so, I hope we don't all start living to be 120. I'm not sure I'd cope with another 60 years.
I always wanted to live to about 70. I thought that'd be a good age.
I think it's amazing that I'm 45 and it is the most creatively successful year of my life.
At this time when I turn 50, because so there's many of my friends and family who didn't get to see 50-years-old, and so, I'm celebrating for them too.
