I'm loving this stage in my life! I feel more confident in myself, fitter, happier and healthier than ever before. I feel it's a complete myth that getting older is a negative thing. I avoid using the word/term old/older and ask people how many years they have instead of how 'old' they are. We are the only language that uses that term - all other languages I've come across asks how many years we have. So yes i love the addition of years and love this time of my life!
