April 20, 201313 yr Being able to sprint without the tightening of a hamstring. Being in shape. Being able to drink a good amount, and not feel like absolute crap the next day; I've lost that ability within the last year or so. No jobs. Having parents to pay for stuff. Being able to go to class, sleep, wake up, and answer the questions teacher asked. Not having to cook myself meals. Not having to by the significant other nice things. Being able to get all your friends together at a moments notice. Playing competitive sports, let alone three different ones within the same month. Recess. Sega Genesis. Thinking you are invincible. Watching Brett Favre in Green and Gold. Going to the school library in elementary school. Hulk Hogan. I can seriously go on for days.
April 20, 201313 yr Being able to dunk! I miss playing basketball 3-4 nights a week like when I was 18-22yo. We played league a couple of nights a week and seemed to always be able to find an "open" gym that we could play at. I miss my brand new Mustang GT from 1988 that I got myself as a birthday present. I could also could go on all night on the things that I miss from my younger days. That said, at that age I didn't know God, I didn't know the love of my life and I didn't know the love that a parent feels for a child. I wouldn't go back to "not knowing" those things for anything.
April 20, 201313 yr I miss not having my natural color hair, even thought I started turning gray in high school. I miss not having all my teeth. I actually miss work now that I am retired. I miss the endurance I used to have while working in the yard. I miss my short term memory. Can't remember where I put anything anymore. But I am thankful that I have lived 61 years and have been so blessed with my health, family, friends, co-workers and a job that I so enjoyed.

April 20, 201313 yr I will probably never retire, and that is the exact reason why. For some reason, I love working. I loved working too. The reason I retired early was to take care of my parents that were not in good health. My dad passed away 1 1/2 years ago at age 93. My mom is 85 and not in good health. Thought I loved my work and miss the kids, my family needed me more. I don't regret it.

April 20, 201313 yr Being 22 (almost 23) and being in Pharmacy school, I feel like I've gotten a small "extension" of my younger life before entering my adult one. Although the stress I'm put under in school right now makes me consider if I'm better off in adult life haha .
