I think we all feel that way once in awhile. I know I don't feel any older in my mind that I did at 18, but by bones will certainly tell you that I am much older than that.

I agree with Barbara. I wish I had her skill of saying things. Life goes on and every one of us change in a way or two. Still, just value life.

I often feel the same way, but usually reality knocks me out of my chair. LOL

I feel as I did when I was sixteen also, and so do most people. However, feeling as one does and remembering spring really isn't all that bad. The responsibility one has for their own health and their children seems to fade at times, but then we remember again

A question all us women ponder occasionally.
It usually means I need to make a change:) in something or other or make a hair appointment or buy a pretty new top and a new pair of earrings.:)
At least that is the excuse I use:)

I wouldn't want to be 17 for anything. Sure youth is fun and the energy is great, but wisdom only comes with age and ~sigh~ experience. ...so are you saying you don't have love and happiness now? Granted aside from family issues, dwell on your hubby...there's lots of love and friends here. Nothing is all puppies and daisies 24-7. Such is life. I want something real not imaginary ideas of a teenager.

ALL women are beautiful no matter the age, I truly believe this as I believe its true for you .
When I was a teenager I was very short and unattractive with braces and no figure people use to always pick on me I never went to my prom and I had 1 friend through high school .I would not want to ever go back to that time in my life . Big hugs to you

Actually, it's more like lamenting that there is still so much to do ... so much I want to do! Time seems to fly by when you are not paying attention!
