I Am 50 Something

I an still in disbelief that I am 50 years old. It's just mind boggling when I think about the fact I've been alive for half a century. Internally I don't feel any older than I did in my teens and twenties....my body on the other hand has other ideas. I notice a few more aches and pains than I used to, and It is a little more difficult to do some things that I used to do with ease. Then there is all of the people who were just infants, toddlers, and little kids when I was in school...I see them now grown up with careers and families of their own...mind blowing. The 70's and 80's are still fresh in my mind, yet seem so long ago at the same time. I'm starting new decade, a whole new era of my life (I'll be 51 in April) and we'll see what this one holds.馃槈

I'm now 68 and still tend to feel I'm in my 40's - until I here people refer to the years of my childhood as generations ago. Not just one generation, but 3 or 4. Where did the time go??

It's a 1966 VW Splitscreen we totally renovated. Unfortunately sold it a number of years ago when we moved overseas for some years. Was a real fun machine. @Hatt94

@Splitscreen awesome.
I have a 67 Beetle. A buddy of mine has a 62 split bus.
Sorry you had to get rid of it.

So am I. We also renovated a couple of Beetles, but sold them too @Hatt94
I see you've joined the "Who the H3LL is that in the mirror!" club. Isn't that funny as we age how when we close our eyes we are 29 and then you open your eyes and....

I'm 58 now and in the last year I've noticed things changing. Stiffness and eyesight mostly.

@Tastyfrzz Yeah I've noticed those things too. I come home from work and relax for a while and end up stiff...and I won't mention that my arms don't quite seem long enough any more when I read something.

I hear you.
I turn 50 next week. Last year I swore I was 25....
I also noticed my arms getting shorter when I read. Weird.
