I'm turning 48 in March, but my mind's stuck at around 28. I still think and do things that I did at that age (that my parents would have never done!). I think your generation will find this out too. I think because medicines are making us healthier longer, even though I might be the same as my mother was, I look and feel younger already. If they keep making strides in medicine like they have been, can you imagine what you'll be in for? You'll be in your 70s and still going strong feeling like someone would have years before only in their 30s!!

I really like your outlook on things Cathy. I will be 30 this year and I really appreciate everyday that I have. I am trying more than ever to take care of myself and eat right. The women in my family history have had a hard time even making it to 60 so I have to really try to stay healthy. Hopefully I inherited the males health in my family. My great grandpa lived to be 99 and my two other grandpas are still alive one is 92 and one is 86 and both still going strong. Life is so precious and we really should live the best and healthiest lives we can.
