I know how you feel.  I turned 41 in July and seeing more gray hair and starting to notices that I need glasses because I can't see as well as I use to.  I know that 41 is not that old but with my medical condition and all the meds I take makes me feel old.  I also been told that you are as old as you want to be.  I know this one lady I took care of when I was working as an In Home Care giver and she was very active and when I found out her age I was shocked because she seemed a lot younger than she was.

I absolutely feel the same way. It is crazy but they definitely feel like they are flying by now. I am in my forties and the past five years or so have been like this.

Sometimes I feel that time flies by, and there are times when I think the opposite. It depends on my mood and circumstances.

I haven't quite hit that point yet, but it does frustrate me how quickly my time seems to disappear.  I used to have so much time and between school and work, it feels like it gets all sapped up so there is very little left for me to do what I want to do.  I miss the days when I used to have to come up with something to do to keep my busy.

I'm a year younger, I'm only 51 and YES, time is flying so fast I can't keep up (and don't really want to), so I just look up and watch, it's cheaper than Dish Network!

Try to look on the bright side I say its the years going by fast to try and keep up with you as you get wiser . Be thankful there are some who are not even living to see there 30s, 40s much less 50s....just try to live each day as you see fit and be happy!!!

I think this happens to all of us and I have certainly noticed it.  I think it is because the younger we are the more excited we have.  Even if it isn't exciting it seems to be because it is new to us.  The older we get it is more of the same therefore it goes by quicker.  Just a theory.

Sometimes it does seems as though the years are flying by as soon as you reach the age of 50.  You also must live and enjoy all of life as it speeds up.  Make it happen and have fun.

Life is always this way one time you young,as time go by things began to change. All things get older
then they move on. It's a good learning prosess moveing from one step to the next..

[vmcutshall]

I am 55 and I have noticed that the time goes faster for me also.

[swkstudent]

I've felt that way since I turned 21. I'm only 26 but those years flew by.
