No, I don't. I am 64 and admit to it. But my sister-in-law is 13 years my junior and she just turned 50 and feels her life is "over". Why? There are sometimes "perks" all over when you age. I don't look my age (so I am told) and as long as I don't, I'm going to enjoy it for as long as God lets me.
In the last three months, I have had three grammar school/high school classmates die - my age, or maybe a year or two difference. Two of cancer, and one of a brain aneurysm. It makes me more determined to take care of myself.

@MaryJanine I was so happy to read this! More power to you! I will be turning 50 in about a year and a half, and actually, I am kind of looking forward to what a new decade may bring.

Thanks. I was worried a bit when I approached the age my mother was when she died (at age 55) but when I passed that, I figured God wanted me around for a while longer and to make the most of it. After all, I reasoned, both my dad and his mother survived to their late 70's.
