If I could snap my fingers (presto!) and have a 25 year old body again...ha! I would do it without hesitation.

I'd hesitate just long enough to find out if I'd have to accept the brain that matched that bod again. If I could keep what I know now, presto indeed! If not, I'll keep the gray hairs thanks.   At 48 I have just as much energy as ever - or more! - and I'm a lot happier, more satisfied too.

Healthier as well. When I turned 25 my oldest son was almost 6, my twins had just celebrated their first birthday. I was just overwhelmed with responsibilities - 48 private music students/week, 3 little kids, and a new husband (who was more like an overgrown kid). I had post-partum depression which lasted for years -- in my 25 year old brilliance, I'd made it worse by starving myself (I was determined not to gain weight). I remember -- breakfast+lunch used to = one hard-boiled egg and a piece of toast. No butter, no jam. No nuthin.

I was exhausted for about 5 years .... and I wouldn't do all that again for a million bucks! Thanks for listening, and sorry, I'm on the wrong thread here I think. This is a guy's thread.

Pardon me!
