How old would you be
if you didn't know how old you are? 
Hi there!
This is no longer an active blog. Sorry about that! I've moved my most intriguing questions and answers to my personal blog, shirleytwofeathers. There are some good links here, so feel free to explore, have a great day!

This is actually a quote from Satchell Paige. I thought it would make a cool question for the day. I contemplated changing the wording of it, but decided to leave it verbatim.
I have spent most of my adult life trying to live the concept that you are only as old as you think you are. Each year, on my birthday, I would pick the age that I felt I was, and then I would act as if that was really my real age, even to the point of keeping my actual age a secret. It drove my kids nutty. My mom had trouble with it too.
And then, somewhere along the line it turned into me being in denial of aging, and me being afraid of getting "old" and I started to question if it was a good idea or not.
Last year, on my birthday was depressed and tired and not feeling good about myself and I decided I must be at least 67 if not older than that even. And it has really colored my year rather darkly to "feel" that much older than I really am...
Today I "feel" 47.
How old would I be if I didn't know how old I am? Well, obviously, I would be as old as I would be if I did know how old I am...
I find the wording of the question to be very interesting. I wonder what he really meant when he said it.
I always say "you are as young as the man you feel" - or wait, maybe that's not quite it - I wish!
I actually have two ages - my brain age and my body age. In my brain, I'm about 32 years old. In my body I feel like I'm about 132 years old.
I truly do think age is a state of mind. I have seen "little old ladies" who were younger than me in actual age. My dad is an example of the opposite end of the spectrum, age 79 1/2 and still working 12 hour shifts on a full-time basis and playing all day on his days off! And still "tarp as a shack" - or something like that!
it would depend if there were no mirrors and I was hanging out on the beach again at Byron Bay...i would think that i was just a few years older than the backpackers at the hostel and all my life was still way ahead of me...
im that old when i dream, just graduated from college wondering about my career and if i will ever start a family?
