I'm 53, and since I passed the major milestone (50) in Paris, I really don't mind birthdays at all anymore. It does bother me a bit that I see my Grandmother when I catch a glimpse of myself in a mirror, more than I ever noticed resembling my Mother. Maybe I just never had time to notice.

Linda... <BR> <BR>Good... <BR> <BR>A smile a day keeps the doctor away... <BR>No, actually I think it was an apple but I think a smile would be better... <BR> <BR>Laughter is the Best Medicine? No, that always reminds me of the Reader's Digest... <BR> <BR>In Milan, Italy, there is a law on the books that requires a smile on the face of all citizens at all times. Exemptions include time spent visiting patients in hospitals or attending funerals. Otherwise, the fine is $100 if they are seen in public without a smile on their face. <BR>

I'm 67 - Recently widowed. We travelled a lot before my wife died. I run (jog) 5 1/2 miles every other day. Enjoy it but also happy I'm physically able to do so. Just got my first tattoo. (my wife approved). Some people thinks it's a sign of senility. I prefer "free spirit)!!! Paul J

Paul, <BR> <BR>I'm sorry about your wife's death. <BR> <BR>Your exercise routine and your zest for new, if quirky, experiences, seems to reflect the wisdom of age and the energy of youth--what a great combination. <BR> <BR>Wishing you decades of sunshine and curiosity and adventure. <BR> <BR>
