Remember when 30 seemed so OLD?!?!

[JPPT1974]

I love being in my thirties
I was reckless and clueless in my teens and twenties
But now I know more than I used to.

 

[Daisysqueaks]

JPPT that is soo true. I think I like being in my thirties as well. I know so much more than I used to and it's funny I can remember when I used to know "everything" but really knew nothing! lol

Hey! I'm closing in on 40.. 40 can't be all that bad

I never really think of anything as being "old" I do however notice how YOUNG the college kids seem now...

I like being the age I am .. I'd never want to go through my teens and 20's again.. however I've had enough wonderful moments of enlightenment over the past decade that it wouldn't much bother me to live through some of my 30's years again

 

[JPPT1974]

I will be forty in nine years
So I am not long off
It will be here before I know it!

I agree. It's closer than we thirtysomethings may think.

Hi JPPT!

I thought I'd join you fabulous 30 somethings. I am LOVING my thirty something years.

But you know what? I'm not all that worried about my 40's either. Granted maybe that's because I'm on the low end of the 30's. But I think that every decade has it's rewards and I'm looking forward to the experiences each one will bring.

My biggest challenge in my 30's is learning how to juggle 5 kids, a husband, house, pets and a full time job.

I can't imagine what it will be like when all my girls are on their own and I have so little to care for. I'll probably wish these challenging days back again.

 

[JPPT1974]

Five kids already
Man you must have a handful
Also with a job and a husband!

 

[infjer]

Oh yes, 30 used to seem ancient.

Fortunately, most of my friends are 40+. So I get to be the spring chicken!

 

[JPPT1974]

I have single friends or divorced friends with or without children that are in their forties too!

My boss (who just turned 30) asked me what it felt like to be 34. I told him it wasn't any different than 30!

 

[JPPT1974]

Yeah but really it ain't as bad as you think it is!
No not really!

So far, 30 has been awesome. I am smarter and more respected. You live and you learn right? Well, MOST people do. Older people don't look at me funny anymore. Now it's my turn to snarl my nose at those teens! What's the world coming to! Look at those clothes! LOL Just kiddin'.

I can't wait to see what the next 10, 20, 30, 40 years will bring!!! Imagine, we could still have 50+ years on this planet!
(Unless the rapture comes, of course.) I'm just glad that I have that much time to worship Jesus, be a witness to as many as I can, and hopefully spread a little happiness along the way.

Thirty isn't that bad not at all
It has been great for me!!

Ok, I LOVED turning 30. Didn't bother me at all. My friend, who is my husband now, took me out and we had a blast! I just turned 37 Jan 31st, and that was a little hard. I guess I'm not ready to be closer to 40. But I do have to say, I do not look my age. When people find out I have a 14 year old daughter, they always say, wow you started having kids young, and I always assure them I was 22, not 15 when I had her.
I believe, you are only as young as you feel. And except for a few aches and pains, I feel pretty young!

 

[JPPT1974]

Yeah less pains and no aches
Plus you have more energy
Just being able to do more!

 

[BeachBlonde]

Yeah,and the weird thing is once you get here you still feel 20. The brain is a funny thing isn't it? I remember thinking the people I babysat for were old.They were in their late 30's and I know I thought they were just too old to have a baby! Sheesh!

 

[JPPT1974]

Glad that I no longer anche physically, mentally, spiritually, or emotionally in my thirties as well!

 

[Templedweller]

I do remember when I though being in MY thirties was going to be FOREVER from then.........

Now I look back and see where I have been and know the experiences I hold BUT it does seem like only yesterday (AND that used to be such an old people's thing to say) when I thought this time MY 30's would be SOOO long in coming.

I'm 32 now!!!

Sincerely,
Templedweller

 

[JPPT1974]

I am thankful I am in my thirties
Since I know more than I used to
Plus I am a lot calmer and collective!
