    I'm almost 59.I'm much happier now then I was at 47 because I decided that that's what I wanted to do!

    I'm not trying to preach to you.

    I'm a mechanical technician who got laid off 5 weeks ago,I got divorced in the mid 80's and paid child support for almost 20 years (whats retirement?),and have had 2 life threatening traumas requiring more then 2 weeks hospitalization each.

    You need to stop being angry-it will eat you up!

    It took me a long time to come to peace with myself,but i"m glad I am finally getting there.

    Time is an illusion,the past is only memories,the future hasn't happened yet,the only reality is right now,make the most of it-it won't happen again.

    Source(s): Hope this helped. You can decide to be what you want to be.

    I've always seen the stupidity. Guess I was a smart youngster!

    It's also gets more hard to see how stupid you can sound sometimes.

    Joking joking....

    Kind of.

    I can relate.

    See, it's hard to accept that we are aging, and it causes irritation.

    We wake up in the morning with stiff, aching joints. When we were young, we woke up with a stiff......

    well......you know......

    might as well get used to it pal, it only gets worse.
