Life begins as soon as you realize you are important and you do count for something. My revelation did not begin until 48. Now I'm just hard to deal with.

I don't believe it.
Don't you count those happy childhood life with parent and having family days, running around in the playgorund with other children? Also, those secondary school/uni life and after school activities, puppy love, gap year travelling (maybe). You started building up your life since you started knowing what you are doing.
Good life just don't always come until later in life, but life begins when you started to learn things and building up experience, like relationships experience and work experience.

I do! I do!! I just really started having fun and being confident when I reached 40! I was so happy I survived that long, I gave myself a party! Then I went on to graduate from Nursing School at 52.. Majored in Nursing Science and minored in PARTY!

What's sad is John Lennon thought that. He even wrote a song called "Life Begins at 40" for Ringo to sing. Well, Lennon was gunned down shortly after his 40th Birthday. Ringo didn't want to do the song after that.

I think thats old wives tales.... life is what you make it at any age but people I think used to say that it started at forty, because they had the kids reared and they could start enjoyin them selves then but I think u just get on with it... u only live once so enjoy every day of it as best u can.....

My body is 45 but my head is (and always has been) somewhere betwwen six and nine years old. It normally only takes people an hour or so to figure that the biggest hero in my life is Peter Pan.
As i often say to girls - you're as old as the man you feel - try it guys, this line is guaranteed to melt knicker-elastic.

I guess it's down to how old your girlfriend/ mistress is, i heard Michael Winner being interviewed a few years back and he said that the ideal age of a girlfriend for men over 30 is half the mans age plus 2 years, you might think it's rubbish but it worked for me.

When I turned forty, there were achievements that I could have made earlier but I was lacking in aggressiveness and self confidence.
One day, I said to myself, If I put one foot in front of the other, my *** will follow!
I have never looked back. Now I am enjoying everything that I was longing to do.

Every day that starts out above ground, regardless of age is a new beginning.

.......Forty even? For sure, you've done all of your growing and thinking and philosophising, it's time now to live live to the full. I'm 42 and have no way given up the will to live. You'll agree when you get to 40, that it's still young.
