Hi Guys!! As the subject says - I'll be 41 years old - on Tuesday. [the 27th of July] 41. Forty One. 4 times 10 - PLUS ONE. 30 plus 11. Hmm... no. Any way I say it - it just does NOT sound YOUNG. But then again - I guess if you're OLDER than 41 - 41 doesn't sound so bad. To someone who is 60 - maybe 41 is 'punksville'. But to someone who is 20 - 41 is 'old mans ville'. Hmmm.... The scary part of getting older - is that an uncomfortable little 'truth' begins to reveal itself. NO - in spite of what someone half my age might think - I am NOT slowly starting to become 'ok' with the idea of DEATH!! The same is true [which is even scarier] for someone who is 80 or older. We like to comfort ourselves - sometimes - by believing that 'old folks' are OK with the idea of BEING old. But that's not necessarily true. I don't FEEL 40 [or 41 - as the case will soon be] In fact - I don't FEEL all that different from when I was 18 or 28 or whatever. Lately - I've been catching a reflection of myself in store windows. [or whatever] I'm often struck by the fact that I'm NOT young anymore. I wonder who that OLDER guy is looking back at me. Just before I phone the police - to have that old creep arrested - I realize that 'creep' is ME!! lol My mom says the same thing. She often wonders WHO that old woman is looking back at her in the bathroom mirror. Do yourself a favour. Don't allow a person's AGE to decide for you - what you think of them. There are just as many wonderful 80 year olds - as there are 8 year olds. Something to think about. GREAT BIG HUGCraig!!

Happy birthday, Craig! You can be assured that, though physically it's all downhill and getting steeper every year, mentally it's possible to pretend you are still young, though it requires an increasing distance from reality.

Happy Birthday mate!
Just think, it's now when you start loosing hair where you want it and gaining it in places you don't!
Have a good one!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY CRAIG!! I hope you have a nice day!

Hi Everyone who responded!! Thank you VERY much!!GREAT BIG HUGCraig!!

My grandpa used to say that age is just a number to measure one's life span. I agree. Age doesn't really matter. It's how old you feel on the inside that counts. I'm 21 and still feel like I'm 16 and I really hope that as I get older I'll keep feeling that young. And might I say, you're a good looking 41 year old man (but I always did like older guys...lol ). Anyhow, as I quoted my grandpa above, I believe it's true. It's not meant to be anything spectacular just a measure of your life and how much wisdom you've gained.
