Comment from Sandra Stoner-Mitchell
You are right, today is the perfect age. We woke up, we can do things, we can still breathe the fresh air. What more can we ask for, especially when we are in that certain age group! Lol. Well done, this is an excellent contest entry. Good luck! :)) Sandra xx

Hello author, very good, very cute, and damn good for you. You are who your are and you live the way you want 'cause you are the perfect age...
Only today we can call our own. Of special note:
I have aches and pains, yet experience has taught me any pain is proof-positive I am alive
(Author, any day that you get up and you're not looking at wood is a great day.)
A fun story. You made me smile. Keep the blue waters flowing. LateBloomer

Comment from Wendy G
Love that photo Tom! You look both happy and relaxed. I think you are right. The gift of the present day is the only one we have. No point in looking either back or ahead and moaning in the present. Great job with your entry - wishing you much success.

Both? Isn't it a picture of me steering a ship in the Caribbean? Success? Is having a friend.
Comment from Debi Pick Marquette
Hello my friend! Yes, I believe you are the perfect age for you. Looking at it any differently adds stress, disappointment and losing out on the time God has blessed you with. What a waste. I loved your story, and how lessons learned are valuable assets. When I thank God for the blessings in my life, I include the times that I learned from something that was obviously more mistakes than wise decisions. You are a lucky man with a beautiful wife and daughter that may have had a surgery that set you back, but that reminds you how blessed you are that she is still with you, along with your other children. Yes my friend, you are a wise man and your wisdom has blessed me as well. You are also an awesome person and I'm sure that all of your friends feel the same way!.

As always, you always have a perfect way with words.
Comment from Ulla
I agree with you. The perfect age is what we make of it as long as we have our health. I'm on my own and happily so. Two marriages, both happy, I have to say, but pleased they came to a merry end. I'm hoping going to America visiting my brother and family in September. So kudos to you and good luck. Ulla:)))

September should be a good time to visit UNLES your kin live on the East coastal plains and a hurricane is a knocking. Thanks for reading Perfect Age.
Comment from Terry Broxson
Great story, and it is good to be comfortable in one's skin today. Good luck in the contest. Since it is a blind entry and we don't know who the author is, I was glad he got a photo by Myra Horonzy. She has a very similar picture of a beloved writer! Good Job! Terry.

Oops. I did not see the signature on the photo. Probably land in writer's jail.

Comment from royowen
I agree, I've never been packed with more wisdom, more love in my life than I'm entitled to. My days are restful, and although I'm past 70, I'm fine in health, have the best wife, the best kids, grands and sons in law, I am content, well done, good luck, blessings Roy

Welcome
Comment from Lisa Tepp
Nice job of giving the argument for "today" as the perfect age. I especially liked your personal anecdotes, the mathematical question of your age, and the passage about your 401K being reduced by 80K, lesson learned...Bravo!

Any chance I can be a mystery author, you know, with the math clues?
Thanks for reading me.
Comment from Lloyd T. Okoko
The objective correlative of your work reminisces the protagonist's frank declaration of his present age as converging with the perfect age.
The work highlights his rationale for saying so as hinging on the fact of his having no control over aging and the fact that all his children are independent. And more so with a loving wife by his side.
The work earns its texture through its effective use of anecdotes synonymous with contentment.
Excellent work. Bravo.

I needed to edit a few words since you read it. Very small but necessary changes.
