I see this was posted yesterday, and that was my birthday, too. I am 50. While my body is certainly showing years of some heavy duty use, I don't think youth is really slipping away because we can always remember all of our other ages. Okay, sometimes the memories are a bit hard to conger up, but they are there, and they helped make us who we are today!

My stomach has recently decided it no longer wants red meat, but that's not really a great loss. It's better for the planet as well!
