Subject: RE: BS: Turning Fifty
Yep, I did it last November and was horrified because it sounded so old, but I wasn't! Then I realised that that was the key...it isn't the chronological age that counts, it's what you feel like. I started having kids late, having enjoyed my young, free and single existence far to much to stop. Consequently, with an 11 year old and a 7 year old, most of my friends around home I've met due to school-gates etc. The majority of them are in their 30s and because I 'hang out' with them ,I feel like them, act like them and to some extent look like them. Definitely a state of mind! After all, if we didn't keep tabs on the years, we wouldn't know how old we were and would just act the way we felt. Love Lynne
