“When you’re 16, you think 28 is so old!And then you get to 28 and it’s fabulous.
You think, then, what about 42? Ugh! And then 42 is great.
As you reach each age, you gain the understanding and
experience you need to deal with it and enjoy it.”

when i was 16 i remember thinking the same thing. Boy, now i see how fab 28 was! And 30.... 32.... it's all good. remember to enjoy yourself so you have no regrets. And I love the fact that i have much more peace and wisdom with each passing year. It's not a pathetic excuse for losing 'youth', like biological functions are something to be treasured. The things you never lose - wisdom, acceptance, peace, joy, humility, generosity - but in fact grow increasingly with each year, are the things to be treasured.
Just thought I'd share
