Good Company, I'm 44

[Angela Chen Shui]

I'm definitely in the older bracket it seems.... 45, 46 in March!

I am 42, unless you read it backwards! I feel younger and more alive everyday!

Yes, me too. Age reads better backwards (25). Am 52, on the brink of 53, into meditation and LOVING every minute of being alive! Life is magic, something I sensed as a child, but now know to be so. Look forward to interacting with you all.

And I'm a Capricorn, and everyone knows Caps age backwards anyway, so...I'm six!

Me thinks I'm probably the oldest one here at 45. (But I'm young at heart...and my kid's friends have always said I'm "the cool mom" cuz I'm online all day and night, chatting with friends and posting to forums.)

How old is everyone else?

I noted my 53rd birthday, January 27, 2007. On January 28, 2007, I had my first new thought of '07. By "new thought", I mean to say; I made a mental connection between ideas I'd never associated before. In short, I had an "insight".

I'd like to share that, and pose a question or two.

INSIGHT: From the instance of our births, we know everything we can ever know. Though out our lives, and until physical death, we seek to understand what we know we have forgotten.

QUESTION 1: What are the advantages to being "young at heart"?
QUESTION 2: Why not another organ? Why not "young at brain"? For example, one might proudly state; "I have a child's mind, most 10 year olds think I'm the coolest".

Do you think there's a bunch of 45+ people who sincerely believe; "youth is wasted on the young"? Do they subconsciously over compensate by advocating increasing the number of soldiers in Iraq?

It's the absence of 18 and 20 year old policy makers, in the present administration, that prompts the question.

I'm approaching 38 and having the best time of my life - I have experience and wisdom and a far more relaxed attitude to when I was in my twenties with a failing marriage and three small children. But then, age is really a state of mind because I still feel 15 I just have a better lifestyle now I know what I want!

Young at Heart? Heart is chosen, I believe, as a subsitute for soul or essence of the person. The advantages of being 'young at heart' are to be able to understand and remember being young... to have an empathy with younger people. It can work the other way - one can have empathy with the older generation too. Perhaps 'Ageless in Spirit' should be used more?

As for the irony of the aged 45+ government sending the youth to Iraq - just remember the average age of governments were much older in the past - when quite elderly politicians, perhaps tired of life, sent masses of young men to certain death in the First World War and the Second... and Korea...

I shan't join in with the backwards ageing thing... 83 *gulp*

Hello everyone! I'm 32 and feeling a bit senior too here hahaha.
Great to meet you all, as this is my first message.

Hi All,

This is tim from India,
and this is my 1st post

-Timm

[Shaden]

Going to tell us your age Timm?

I'm 17 years old, and glad I discovered personal development so early on in life. Time to wield my inescapable potential

[ChrisCountryGirl]

I'm in my 20's.

[somiab1]

I've turn recently 25. It's great to see so many young people are trying to conciously creat their own lives. Makes me hopful of the future generations.

[Richard]

I,m 60 so I guess that makes me the oldest blogger. But, I have gone through life from the age of 16 believing that old people are approximately 17 years older than me. So at the moment I think that 77 is rather old.

[Megan]

Mine was late December 1946.

Yeah, 17 years older than us is a nice round number for "old"...but 60 is the new 30, doncha know!

[Mitch]

I'm 26 years of age.

[Narz]

twenty-seven

[Aaron Young]

I'm 23 and I recently graduated university.

[Margaret]

I'm 60 almost 61 and happy to be here. Life has never been better. I enjoy the posts. As always the press give such a negative picture of our youth, they would have one believe that everyone under 40 is always strung out on drugs and alcohol. This is refreshing and so much more educational than television. If I had one piece of advice it would be to take care of your health. I came from the "live fast die young" decade. It sounded romantic and daring then, but now people my age who didn't die young are preety happy about it.

[tipsypixie]

Wow - I'll be the oldest to have posted so far - recently turned 46 and been using computers in one form or another for almost 30 years! We've even kept our original Commodore 64 for the sake of nostalgia and a tea chest full of games to run on it (and it still works )

I think congratulations are in order for those of you who are much younger than I. I would never have guessed that the demographic for this site was so youthful. The vast majority of posts are well thought out and demonstrate a maturity that belies your age(s).

Cheers
C.

[Firinne]

I'm a graceful 44, but feel like I'm 24... just a late bloomer, I guess. :-) I'm in Upstate SC, and I think it's terrific to see a younger crowd here.

[moondream]

I'm new here and in my early 20's, but I must say that I am also surprised about how many young people are here! This is great (well any age to be involved at a place like this is great)!

[DebbieM]

I'm 60, but think I'm still 30 in my head. Hello all. I am a new member. I teach HS English to 'at risk' kids. I have shown "the Secret" to all my classes. I've always known bits & pieces of the Secret, but this is the 1st time I've seen a cohesive explanation including the why & how. Or maybe I'm just ready to understand. In any event, I joined because I have questions and no mentor. I'm hoping the threads don't go on ad infinitum picking apart an original topic. I also hope I can contribute something valuable as I go on this journey.

[Shirls2007]

I am 61 and delighted not to be the only older person in the forums. I've been interested in personal development all my life and it's interesting to observe how approaches have changed and mutated over the years. Yeah, well I reckon I've changed and mutated as well.

[Rosie327]

My birthday's this month, and I jump into the next age range - yikes! I would have totally been into blogs in my 20s if they had been around! I had more free time back then, and even in my 30s. Now I'm lucky to jump on and skim a few posts before someone is bellowing for mommy...or turning off the computer's main power!!

[Matthew M]

Hi I am 25, and this is the most amazing info a person can read.

I agree. Your post was deeply inspiring!

[Rainbowdazzle]

Hi,
I'm 31 and feel like I'm at a crossroads so decided to join the forums to see what other people are thinking about life, death and all the stuff in between.

Hi Richard, kind of like you, I've always had a 'moving' definition of old. Mine is that 'old' people are approximately 20 years older than my parents, so old for me right now is 87.

I'm 44, though I find that hard to believe as I'm definitely young at heart (and at brain)!

What strikes me about all the younger folks here is all the wisdom and maturity, definitely lots of old spirits around here.
