45 here, 3 kids DD 19, DS 16, DS 11 and about to be a first time grandma in the spring.

I am at peace with my age but wish I had the energy of my youth.

Why is it called "Third agers"?

I never heard this term before.

There's an explaination a number of pages back.

I'm in my mid-50s and have the maturity of a Third Grader.

An update: Turned 40 in July, my youngest turned 18 in Sept, I was engaged this past weekend, decided to move long-distance this summer coming up, found out Monday I'm gonna be a grandma!! Is all that supposed to happen in the same year?

I don't THINK so. ha! If this is 3rd-aging, fine, bring it ON.

I'm 43 and I'm entering the best years of my life. I don't regret my past- I only regret the time I spent with the wrong people. Life is good.

**mobaymom** · 01-27-2012, 03:20 PM

I am 43, mom to 5, grandma to 2 and loving life...we only have one child left at home and while it's odd to have an empty home, I'm enjoying the time I have with my youngest and with my dh.

I'm 43, with my hubby for 26 years. We will be married 20 years on Valentine's Day! We have one teenager and 2 little doggies. We love our simple life, wish we started this journey earlier, but hey life is a learning experience.

**Merrilee** · 02-27-2012, 01:32 AM

I am 55 with 3 grown kids & 4 grandkids. I don't mind the number, but boy I just don't have energy. I think back to my 30's & can't believe all I could do then compared to now! Married 38 years, a child bride.

**Scarlett** · 02-27-2012, 07:06 AM

Merrilee, boy do I ever know what you mean about the no energy thing. Some days I feel more like 90 than 55. lol

**dhmunoz** · 02-27-2012, 08:59 PM

I guess I'm qualified to join the group, too.....I am 40, will be 41 in July. I have a 20yo son who lives in CA, and 18yo son who is currently in Job Corps, and a 13yo son, 12yo son, and 11 yo daughter at home. I am happy to be past the whole baby-toddler-little kid stage, for sure. I don't mind 40 but it would be cool to do 30 again, lol

My husband and I have been together for almost 15 years. Overall, we are enjoying life.

I am 52 and most of the time, I feel like a teenager! But when I do a lot of hard physical work on the farm, I am suddenly reminded that I am 52! I do a lot of things to stay young, like ride my 200 mph motorcycle, go on wilderness survival trips all by myself way out in the woods. And my girlfriends really help me stay young because they are both 35 years old. So most of the time, I am very happy being my age! Heck we all have to get old and theres nothing we can do about it, so we might as well enjoy it all we can!
