The last time I lied about my age I was 16 trying to pass for 18. I am happy to be 45. Once when someone said "You don't look 45" (like 45 should be really old and wrinkly) I replied "Yes I do, this is what 45 looks like." That is a Gloria Steinem para phrase :)

Re: How old are you?
Tue, March 20, 2007 - 9:17 AMRight now 43 going on 18 .. LOL.. At least that is what a couple of my friends say..
In my 40's with no kids, not having to work and more or less doing what i want to!
It's the best time of my life and i expect it to get better... Oh and a wonderful dh that has "put up with me" for 25 years... He is a gem! He even likes going on cruises now.. LOL..
TTYS, KathleenA

Re: How old are you?
Fri, March 16, 2007 - 11:20 AMI'm 39....40 in August! Trying really hard to avoid that reality....or should I more appropriately say, trying to avoid hitting 40 and feeling the way I do! My goals of new and improved me by birthday time are dwindling (as reality sets in)....trying to learn the lesson of enjoying the ride and being happy with me--as is--rather than trying always to change (I'm wasting too much time worrying!). Here's hoping that greater self-acceptance is part of my b-day gift to me! Seeing all the beautiful, confident, 35+ dancers here is helping! Thanks!!

Re: How old are you?
Fri, March 16, 2007 - 9:00 PMI guess because my mom never made it to 44 I think it is awesome being 45. My mom always loved to say her age, then add "you know, a year younger than Elizabeth Taylor." I'm 45 - you know a year younger than Daryl Hannah! -

Re: How old are you?
Sat, March 17, 2007 - 7:31 AM"you know, a year younger than Elizabeth Taylor."
Oh I like this. I'm a few days away from 49, same as Madonna.

Re: How old are you?
Sat, March 17, 2007 - 7:33 AMI turned 40 in Nov. I just cannot and do not see myself as middle aged. Well, sometimes my body feels older, but my mind and spirit feel so much younger.

Re: How old are you?
Sat, March 17, 2007 - 4:30 PM37 - I'm planning a few things that I promised I would do before I was 40, so its an exciting time. and then at 40 I get to make a whole lot of new promises to myself. -

Re: How old are you?
Sun, March 18, 2007 - 4:17 AMMy Teacher says "I should never grow old". My Teacher is speaking of what is in my mind, which is why how many years I have been on the planet doesn't mean I am growing old, just aquiring wisdom. At least this is what I am trying to learn. ;-)
Strangely enough I do not mind my age, I just sometimes wish I had figured out some things earlier. Then again, don't we all. But like someone just said, I am still a baby. °Ü° -

Re: How old are you?
Sun, March 18, 2007 - 10:05 AM41, 42 in June. I love my age, mainly all the wisdom, self confidence, and self ACCEPTANCE that I've *finally* accomplished. And I know I'm *nowhere* close to being the woman I'm meant to be. It's an incredibly fun journey, though, and I look forward to the next 40 years. :-D

Re: How old are you?
Sun, March 18, 2007 - 8:29 PMI am 42 with 2 years experience. Once I became the same age as 'the answer' I just couldn't bear to change it. Since folks say I don't look that old I just roll with it.

Re: How old are you?
Sat, March 24, 2007 - 7:08 AMI just turned 55 - March 20. My boys are both married and been on their own for a long time so I am just enjoying life. I love the bellydance - both tribal and oriental. Most people tell me I don't look my age - I do try to take good care of myself! One day at a time - don't dwell in the past and you don't know what's ahead of you! As long as I can continue to stay young at heart and be healthy, I'll be happy!!!!! -

Re: How old are you?
Sun, March 25, 2007 - 9:15 AMAs of today, I am 51 years old and have been a tribal bellydancer for six years.
On my 50th birthday last year, the tribal bellydance troupe I'm a member of performed at Rakkasah for the first time. What a rush!! It was a definite milestone in my life and I look forward to many more experiences like that in the future. :D

Re: How old are you?
Tue, March 11, 2008 - 2:57 PMI totally agree Im 57 and dancing oriental and tribal and loving it .We only pass this once and we might as well make the most of it. My son is 37 and my daughter is 35 and have their own lives to lead so this is my time, in between looking after my disabled husband.
