How old would you be if you didn't know how old you were?
~Satchel Paige
I found this quote and it made me think... My answer: Somedays I definitely feel 44, somedays 18 and somedays 12 (those days are usually the most fun as I have no problem embracing my immature side... Whoever says whoopee cushions are lame has obviously never planted one under their significant others chair at the dinner table. Just saying).
Taking a cue from Musings Of An Unapologetic Dreamer (a blog I love to read because Keith makes you think) I'd love to know how old you would be if you didn't know how old you were?
Great quote:) Thanks for making my Monday brighter!
ReplyDeletetoday when I got up, I felt about 70! I think that was because it was raining and so cosy but I had to go to work..(but strangely, when I left work, I felt about 23)
ReplyDeleteGreat quote and images. I'm a really old person... I thing I was probably born 28
ReplyDeleteLovely....I would like to be 32 again.......if only.
ReplyDeleteLately I feel like I'm 83...I'm tired and achy...no good!
ReplyDeleteI've struggled with this my whole life. I want to feel 27 so bad...but for some reason I just don't. I need spring to come to rejuvenate!! =)
Thank you for following me, i have to say your photography is stunning. I think most days i wake up feeling a lot older than i am haha, however when i'm asked my age i always forget how old i am and blurt out 18 when i'm actually 23 haha x
ReplyDeleteThere are some days in which I feel terrible old...
ReplyDeleteAnyway, I want to be forever young, like in Bob Dylan's song.

I think mine would change depending on my mood as well. My sense of humor can be that of a 10 year-old, but I love smart comedy as well.
ReplyDeleteWhoopee cushions are always funny.
Agreed, whoopee cushions are--always-- funny! :)
Delete(happy I'm not alone on that)
Thank you for the shout-out :)
ReplyDeleteLet's see...that's a tough question. I want to say 20 because I definitely feel young at heart!!
But then somedays I wake up and I'm like "dude, you're definitely not 20 anymore" :)
Great quote <3 Sometimes it's great not to act like your age ;)

I think I'd be 42 - old enough to be settled in a lot of things and young enough for active adventures - yep, I'd be 42 - or 11.
ReplyDeleteGood one, Wendy. It changes daily for me. Today I'm feeling about 25. By the end of the day, I might be feeling my true age of 38.
ReplyDeleteWhen I work on my dollhouse miniatures or see my dolls, I feel just like a little kid again and it's terrific.
ReplyDeleteWhen I see gray hairs that need to be dyed and thinning hair, I feel old.
So what's the solution? When I see the grays, run for the dollhouse. ha haha Susan p.s. Is that you with the hula hoop? Nice job. Susan
LOL - no, not me. A young girl that was hanging out on in the market square in St. Augustine. I loved her carefree style and thought she would be a great subject to photograph.
DeleteHmmm... I don't feel old at all and I don't consider my age to be old so I guess I like the way I am now!
ReplyDeleteWonderful quote! :)
ReplyDeleteAnd I agree, the times feeling like around 12 are the funniest! :)
Wish there were more of them...
Miss Drawingdream
hehe love the gif. I really like that quote. At 19, I feel like half the time I'm 5 but the other half of the time I'm 40 :)
ReplyDeleteMili from call me, Maeby
I was just looking at hula hoops at the dollar store the other day. A few years ago my friend and I were hula hooping as part of a chakra clearing exercise...don't ask. :) It's funny, but I found it really hard to do. For the most part in my head I'm 25... Don't tell.

This is such an interesting quote to think about! I love to sew and prefer going to bed early during the work week, which definitely makes me feel like a grandma, and then sometimes I definitely still feel like I am 10 (uhh stuffed animals, yes please :)
ReplyDeleteHope you're having a great start to your week!

Cute pictures. I definitely can't get past the early twenties. I miss the outdoor concerts, going to university (ie. not having to work and make money every day) and just the "newness" of things. That being said, I wish I could be more childish sometimes. I'm not a big practical joker and it might be more fun for my kids if I was. BTW, I love Keith's blog too. That guy gets me thinking! :)
ReplyDeleteI LOVEEEEEE practical jokes. I feel the need to send you a started kit.
Delete*Starter. Yeesh.
DeleteYou have a starter kit for practical jokes? You must be fun to live with. ;)
DeleteFortunately my boyfriend is as immature, if not more so, than I am.
DeleteA starter kit would consist of a pen that squirts water (discovered those in 9th grade -lots of fun), fake poop (because it's fake poop), naturally a whoopee cushion, and gum that turns your teeth and tongue blue for a little bit. Good stuff. :D
hmmm, 24. yeah.
ReplyDeleteI love hooping. Been a hoop dancer for seven years. I've just started making my own custom hoops for sale. I love that you posted images of a hooper. It's so much fun...and it keeps you young.
ReplyDeleteI would be 33! In fact I feel 33. I am about as healthy these days as I was at 33. I was horribly unhealthy at 40-45.(bronchitis all year, pneumonia, had to have braces or next 10 years would be getting dentures) After 45 I stopped consuming hamburgers and milkshakes(diary in general) and have had the past 15 years to be so similar to my 30's. Yay! (in case you missed it...I turned 60 a week ago) :D
ReplyDeleteI absolutely agree with you! It all depends on the moment, spirit and people who you are with. Time is very relative.
ReplyDeletexo, E*
That girl rocks! I just enjoyed watching her do her thing....great shots! Ah what age...well I'm 35 gonna be 36 this year so I would for sure jump around if I could....28 cause that's when I wasn't in mom jeans or a mom car. I had time to go to the city for shows and stay out late. Then I would jump way back to when I was 9. All of my brothers and sisters together again under mom and dads roof. Then I would jump back to 35 to kiss and tuck my beans into bed! I so had fun with this...maybe more if I had a whoopy cushion! Ha!!!
ReplyDeletevery thought provoking quote there, man how to decided.
ReplyDeleteHmm there's days when I feel like a six year old, and others when I'm like a grandma. :) I guess I'd have to say something between, which is my real age - 25.
ReplyDeleteIndie by heart
My age changes throughout the day! I'm getting up there in the numbers and it is a little difficult to fathom at times. I can accept my age but I refuse to give in to it. When I try to hula hoop (and I have tried lately) I feel like a 10 year old. I couldn't do it then either!
ReplyDeletelove these pics! as I was 13 years old, I did hula hoop 6hours long :D it was fun!
ReplyDeletewell I like your blog, there are sooo many beautiful photos *.* wow
we could follow each other, what do you think? :)

I guess it depends on the day. Mostly I still feel like a 16 year old. In reality I am 58. Did I say that? I still like to dance. xx
ReplyDeleteI tend to be 35 most of the time even though I am over 60.
ReplyDeleteSome days I am 14.
There is nothing like a good harmless practical joke and a good honking laugh.
I know the feeling, age is so defying, its good to be free and decide each day how you want to feel and react to life a day at time. Some days I am mature others not so much regardless of my age
ReplyDeleteM
Boy, I still feel like I'm 22 or so - I feel like I finally have the life I started dreaming about at that age! Love the hula hooping - I need to get one of those! Keith is great, isn't he? :)
ReplyDeleteThis is such an interesting thing to think about! I think I change by the day too!! I guess the good thing I have going for me is having lots and lots of energy, which would result in being about 16. Other than that I'm all over the place!
ReplyDeleteEnjoyed this quote. We'd probably be old geezers since we are just not always the risk-takers we used to be! Loving the hula hoop video. Thanks for sharing! Xo, M&K at BT
ReplyDeleteHi, thanks for stopping by and following my blog. I have done so here also. I have enjoyed my visit here and love your photography. I look forward to coming back.
ReplyDeleteWell, that was a very good quote, I have not heard it before, and in my case I would say about 10 years younger, sometimes 20 years older, but most of all a lot of years younger than I am.
ReplyDeleteGreat photo here, and i will come back...and thx for stopping by my place and follow my humble blog.
Have a great day.

That is a fantastic quote! It's definitely going in as one of my favorites!! I definitely think in the same bandwidth as you - some days I feel 34, other days 21, and some days 16 and other days 50. :)
ReplyDeleteI feel like I'm 25 but my body disagrees!!
ReplyDeleteSome feel that Satchel Paige was one of the hardest throwers in the history of baseball. Whatever, Satchel left us with great quotes.
