You kind of crib and climb emotional ladders at 40, and slowly climb along the arc, clutching your knees, till 60. That's your peak for the rememberer and the forgeterer.<br /><br />After that its a swift slide, till you become a child again at 80. I should know. I am at the top of the slide, and the Park is full of all those folks on swings, in their 40's.Ugich Konitarihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15901335427613806798noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1060614279393262320.post-31782109449667897112011-01-20T20:21:19.943-08:002011-01-20T20:21:19.943-08:00Oh, yeah, you're going along all Zen and all i...Oh, yeah, you're going along all Zen and all in your forties, hormones finally under control and all wise and stuff and then...

For the first time in my life I know who I am and what I want out of this life and I am not only comfortable, but gloriously happy in this skin of mine. Except for the fact, that I could use a little less arse. <br /><br />I don't want any of those days back.

I enjoy things alot more and appreciate not having to worry about hair loss since that boat has long since sailed. I get really hungover and sick when I drink too much so I don't do that anymore and I just know so much more now and I knew ALOT back then. All in all it's a good trade so far. Except for the diabetes...that was a kick in the ass but now I have the time and freedom to do something about that without having to also worry about family and career.Kalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00663751053844271849noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1060614279393262320.post-36651896722865153222011-01-20T11:35:41.935-08:002011-01-20T11:35:41.935-08:00I'm sixty and I have learned to make lists or ...I'm sixty and I have learned to make lists or I forget quite a lot.

Try to do different things than normal or change a few things around - my favorite use to be to shower in the dark. I can't do that anymore as I will fall over due to an inability to balance well (accident took a great many things away) but I used to love it. The best is to learn something complex and new - like playing an instrument or crosswording you ass off. Something.
