37

Bad advice, G.C.

(Sorry, but Gemini Cricket and I are in the begining stages of an elaborately contrived Prince Hunt that will take up a not-insignificant amount of time and energy ... but will be tons of fun in the process).

I'm always amazed at how consistently people express they would never go back to their 20's. Even me, and I LOVED my 20's, had the MosT FuN EveR ... but would never go back to anything before 32.

Even then ... that's a minimum. I think most of us get better and better and better with age. If you have that to look forward to, then it's all ahead of you no matter what. Because truly it doesn't matter what you have or what you are doing. Concentrate on who you are being, who you want to be next, what to do to better be the person you want to BE. All the fantastic haves and do's will flow from that.

So since you generally BE better with time, time is truly on your side. Don't fret about 37 as the gateway to your 40's. (Although i had my advance mid-life C at 39, and got it out of the way ... it never came at 40.)

I'm working at not freaking myself at my current 47 as the gateway drug to my 50's, and I admit I'm having problems with it. But it's all relative, and it's all meaningless.

But thanks for freaking at 37, Brad. It makes it seem much easier for me to not freak at 47.
