What a great question. When I was a kid, I thought that 24 was the perfect age. By 24, I just knew I was going to be married, have a baby, and a job that I loved. I think I’d like to be 24, so I would always feel successful by having things done by 24!

Thanks for organizing ICLW. It’s fun!

I don’t think I would…I am too excited to see if I can be one of those 40 year old women who get the college guys to turn their heads!

Thanks for all that you do and for creating all these amazing connections!

If I could freeze my age I think I would be forever 28, but I would want to know what I know now, so that may be cheating.

I wouldn’t want to miss out on any stages of my life. If I could choose to freeze my ageing I think I’d wait until I was retired. That way I would still have experienced all the stages of life, my children (hopefully) would be grown, and I could continue to live whatever life my husband and I wanted to without the fear of becoming physically or cognitively too frail to enjoy it.

I would stay at age 37. I had Lu and my grandmother was still alive. I like the person I have become, and I am truly thankful for the wonderful gift of my little girl.

Hmm there is no age that I’ve passed that I would want to remain at forever and as I can’t see into the future, I don’t know if there is an age that I’m going to reach where I’d want to stay at forever…..good question tho!

Happy ICLW!!

What a great question! I don’t think I would like to stay at any age. Of course at the time I always think that it can’t get any better than this and then it does. I would feel like I was missing out on way too much stuff if I stayed one age.

Thanks for all you do…I am new to blogging and love that you coordinate everyone!

I loved my early 20′s. If only I could have the knowledge I have now then though, it would be perfect. =)

This is my first month doing ICLW. I’m really excited to broaden my blogging horizons. I participated in the What IF project and I found a lot of new and very cool blogs that I now regularly read. Thank you for that opportunity and for this.

Now to the question. I dread my birthday every year for the simple fact that each year I think that’s the best age ever. With the exception of the age of 15 (my worst year ever), every year I want to stay the same age. At 16, I wanted to remain 16; at 19, I wanted to stay 19; at 21, I wanted to stay 21; and so on and so on. You get the picture.

So I guess I choose every age, which in the end is good, and kind of symbolic. It means we’re meant to continuously evolve and get wiser.

Of course, if the question was if you could keep the same body from any age, my answer would definitely change.

That is a great question. I think I pick the age I am at now, 27. I am adult enough to be responsible yet young enough to still be silly and party. Plus my youngest sister is now 21 so she can come out too.
Thank you so much for bringing everyone together. You are amazing.

Happy ICLW (#64)
