Hi Karykay,

Welcome to the group! No, 54 is not old, it's very young lol. At 64 I can't get used to the idea of being a pensioner lol.

I am Gillian from Northern Ireland. I am married to a retired general practitioner and we have 4 adult children, 3 of whom are on the autistic spectrum and 2 of whom live away from home. We are members of the local Baptist Church.

Looking forward to hearing more about you and fellowshipping with you here.

Blessings,

Gillian

Well, I, for one.... feel, 'youthful'
albeit, from within a 'mature' body
and, as you mentioned
Life, is changing, most interesting and truly fascinating
we are continuously 'learning new things'

I cannot change my age.

So I cannot worry.

Bless all with more revelation of His Love for us!

And Remember, He is the Ancient of Days.

Daniel 7:9
I beheld till the thrones were cast down, and the Ancient of Days did sit, whose garment was white as snow, and the hair of his head like the pure wool: his throne was like the fiery flame, and his wheels as burning fire.

72 years old here. No I have not entered my second childhood yet as I refuse to leave my first one.

Nice thing about being 72 have lots of former things to list.

Former USAF Pilot
Former Structual Steel Draftsman
Former Psychologist
Former Missionary
Former etc, etc, etc

Been married 3 times, first 2 wives are deceased. Married First time for 25 years, second time for 17 years, been married to my current wife for 6 years

I was very fortunate and blessed in life. have lived in every State East of the Rocky mountains and in many Countries. Oddly as a child I never wanted to travel. I wanted to live out my life without ever leaving my home town of Tariffville, CT. But at the age of 19 life sent me on a journey that has not ended.

Currently raising horses. Wife was raising horses when we got married. It is a new adventure. Never expected at my age I would end up as a cowboy. We also have cats. Probably too many. Have a bad habit of rescuing shelter cats and finding homes for them. Currently have 4 abandoned kittens we are trying to locate good homes for after we have them neutered and get all their shots.

Have 4 we could not get rid of if we wanted to. they own us.

Both my wife and myself are disabled Vietnam vets. We sort of mutually support each other.

Thanks Gillian for your welcome. One's age depends on who you are talking to, if it is the young people then you are old, but to you I am still young. :) Life is strange and fascinating.

You're right there Karykay.

I just noticed you're from South Africa. I have been there a few times with my husband. He was born there but moved back to the UK with his family at the age of 8. His younger brother lives there now and we have visited him a few times. We have also been to the Kruger National Park a few times - we took the family there in 2010 and had a lovely holiday.
