Putting Things In Perspective

[724Skinsfan]

Why even worry or pay much attention to the number? You party when you don't have much need for reponsibility. You settle down when you feel the time is right. Being single was a blast. Being married and having kids is pure joy. My teens were awesome, my 20's were equally awesome. I'm just starting my 30's and it's been a great experience, which I'm sure to finish up by characterizing them as equally awesome. I sayDon't worry about the number of years you've spent thus far. Worry about how you're going to spend the rest.

I will say one drawback to the aging process is the toll it takes on your body if you were particularly reckless playing sports. Man, do I feel it now diving for a ball in the outfield. I used to bounce right off the grass back onto my feet after the catch; now, I sort of lay there wondering which body part will refuse to respond to simple movement commands.
