It's my birthday. Ooold.

33. I'm gettin' up there!

EDIT: Also glad to say that it's 16 years of beating my physical disability! I swore I wouldn't make it through my first year way back at 17, but I'm still getting the better of it.

When I was 33 I was bronzed (tan) weighed a muscular 170 at 5'11 and I lived in the Carribean teaching scuba diving ( I took 2 years of "retirement" while I was young enough to do certain things )

I highly recommend it!

Best years of my life.

Young, strong, healthy, heck the girls still liked me back then.

I'll be 59 next month, six foot, 220, still have hair, not as strong, not as healthy, disabled now, no tan.

But my Granddaughters love me.

My 30's were a blast, enjoy it while you can.

Oh, I almost forgot, fellow Aquarian..my very BIG Bday was 1/29...oh, but not complaining..when you have your health - I look around..so many do not..be well Akoto
