   It's sad that, as most of us age, the realm of what we think of as possible gets smaller and smaller. I'm not even talking about major life goals or anything. It's just that most of us rarely think of doing anything outside of our routine. It's like the example I was giving the other day about how sometimes we have to remind ourselves "That's right, I'm a grownup, no one can stop me from eating peanut butter right out of the jar if I want to!"

     There are many different reasons we tend to have less fun and joy in our lives as we get older: we have work and kids and other responsibilities, we realize what a bad and sad place the world can be, our body starts hurting, but maybe the saddest reason is that it just never occurs to us to do fun things, we forget how, or we're waiting for some kind of permission or go-ahead from life. Good news is, they also may be the easiest to overcome.

     @Tarnport I don't know whether that makes me better or worse off for not having one, lol.

     @Tarnport And yet I cried so much because I saw it as a sign of getting old.

     @Fragglemuppet what, you have already lost your treacherous little sack of stones and bile!?? Lucky, I say. Very lucky. Worst design ever. Lol. Yet in any case aging is no fun
     Live while you can and you are young! And you were always young, relative to what you will be tomorrow.

     @pixelate Actually I'm not that big on peanut butter. My thing used to be little jars of jam and jelly. And squeeze bottles of honey. I'd love to get one of those just for myself! Maybe next time I'm out.
