As well we all. I fancy myself to be a young 66, but when I was in my early 20s, I didn’t really think I’d make it much past 40. I was apparently wrong. Which I’m Ok with!

Years ago, one of my friends when were in our mid 30s that we were middle aged!. I didn’t think 30s were middle aged. Now I see 30s as mere children.

We’re okay with it too! 😊 When I was dating my future husband in my mid-twenties, he often told me that he wasn’t going to live past 42. It was both frightening and annoying to me and I asked him to please stop saying that. He said it once too often and I finally told him if that was the case, then we should break up right then because I didn’t want our future children to be left fatherless at very young ages. He stopped saying it, but I’m not sure he ever stopped believing it ... until he got past 42, and he got well past 42.
