Hey Jan, I decided to go natural, and that is a white grey, a couple of years ago, most of the ladies I know had been trying to discourage me but I kept going and within 9 months I was natural and they loved it.
I couldn't stand the dyes any more and now my hair is softer than ever.
Go for it.

you took the words right out of my mouth.
I just turned 28 in February. but don't ask my wii fit age, that's how old i feel some days.
I have a theory, after the age of 14 you slow down in aging. You mature in that you learn to act "cool" by not blurting everything out when it first pops in your head (except for me i never got that far)then at 20 it just stops. i've talked to my parents and many co workers they seem to agree they all still feel like they are somewhere around 20 not 50 and 60.

I am loving all the 50+ Farmgirls we have on here! I will be 57 in May. I loved turning 50 and felt like I was comfortable in my own skin for the first time in my life. What I don't like are the wrinkles and sagging skin on my face but that goes with the territory.

You know I've been following this thread and the interesting thing is that no matter what our age it is better than the alternative. At least that is what my kids tell me sometimes. I have not come to the place where I am happy with me the way I am. I still feel like I am a work in progress and I thank God for that. Though some of the things I am not happy with are the outwards things, ie;weight you know the things I can do something about. I am grateful that God is patient with me. ;)

I turned 39 this past February-heading towards 40!! I like this age better than any other so far, and after reading the posts, I'm looking forward to my 40's, 50's, and hopefully beyond!
I teach middle school. A friend of mine who retired a few years back always said "We must like teaching middle school so much because we have about the same maturity level"!!!

I'll be 31 on Mother's Day!
I have a hard time believing my own age a lot of the time. It doesn't hit me that I'm no longer a 20-something until somebody calls me "ma'am" or until my 6-years-younger brother has a birthday. I won't complain, though. While I've always been happy, I feel more peace in my life now than I did 10 years ago. I feel (and usually act) much younger, and I think that may be the key to a long and happy life!

I love all these "age advantaged" women here! We young 'uns have so much to gleen from your wisdom.
I will be 26 in July, just starting to hit the age where I know what I believe. Now it is just a matter of gaining the maturity and wisdom to keep my mouth shut. |

I remember when I was little and my mom was in her 30 somethings and I'd ask her how old she was and she'd have to think and do the math from whatever year we were in. I thought that was so ridiculous that she could forget how old she was and now at 38 I am finding that I have to do the same thing often! :0) It's so funny to remember that and be there now! This is a fun thread, I read through all 10 pages and love seeing everyone's response!

I'm 48, 49 this August.I'm happy to read about everyone in these postings being happy with thier lives.Is there a coincidence here?Independant,strong women who look back on thier lives and are happy they lived the way they did.
Me too, very happy married to the man of my dreams.A daughter that just turned 21,one entering high school next year, and a three year old.I work my butt off on our small farm and my job to support it(w/ my husband's help too).But every day is glorius and happiness just radiates out.

I turned 53 in April. I am in better shape now and feel better than I did 10 years ago. I work at a horse rescue where we currently have 90+ horses. It is hard physical work but like I say I feel better now than I did years ago. My husband of 31 years was joking with me the other day and said he wouldn't have a chance against me if I decided to "take him out". I finally decided what I wanted to be when I grow up. I want to be a farm/horse girl. It is never to late to become who you want to be.

I am 37 and apparently look pretty young, yesterday I was mistaken for my 13 year old daughter! I looked over at my husband and he was laughing. He said "See, you still don't look your age", and most of the time I don't act it :)
Take care, Melissa.

It's been fun reading through this thread. I didn't have a clue until 40, then just a peek, to get me through that decade, then 50 hit, woozer gals, it's been a great ride these four years, I'm learning more and more about myself every year. Sixty oughter be a hoot ;P Like Corinne though, I quit coloring my hair and I don't regret it. Attiude of course is the biggie, the sassier, the better, LOL!

How old amI? This question doesn't really brother me. I'll be 58 on August 5th of this year. It's good to know all the different ages and the opportunities that can exist with different ages.
