You are still very young. Wait a few more years and you will have a way different prospective.
I have a lot more years behind me than I have in front of me.
I like waking up in the morning.
Spending time with kids & Grandkids.
Jeep rides. Making things work on my jeeps.
Gardening in the spring.
Deer hunting in the fall.
Fishing whenever I can.
I'm pushing 50 and at a really great spot in life. I'm happy, have lots of friends, spend all my free time doing family stuff or old car and Jeep stuff with my friends. I'd say my favorite thing about getting older is being able to focus on career and work less, and fun with family and friends more
truth of the matter is when we met (late 80's) she was smokin, head cheerleader type smokin, but these days, she leans more towards Squatchian in appearance so all things considered she threw me a solid, bigly!
That's what happens when you switch teams.. Just saying
Who would've thought that carpet would be so fattening...
Thought of another one.
When I was younger I used to hate mornings as I was much more of a night owl. These days I love waking up early, enjoying the morning, and going to bed earlier instead. I don't think I could stay up late if I tried!

One more thing...
I will never complain about getting old.
I personally know too many people that never got that opportunity.
Every new day is a gift and should be treated as such if you can.

8pm is a struggle these days. 5am is a blessing. Glad the sun is coming up now.
After 37 years of working swing shift (2nd shift), even in retirement, staying up until between 1 or 2am is still the norm for me. As an old guy, the nice part about that is I get to do it because I want to, and not because my work schedule dictates it. If I have to wake up early in the morning, I feel like I'm being punished.
You certainly learn to never take anything for granted.

Pretty much this - although I never worked swing shift. I used to be morning person, up at 5:30 at the latest. Then I married a nite owl, and then I became a Belly Dancer. Neither is conducive to early mornings. Now I'm usually up till at least 3 or 3:30, sometimes 4, once in a while 5, and 6 isn't unheard of...
1000%. when I turned 40, I really started to take my health seriously. I’m 20 pounds lighter than my high school varsity wrestling weight and arguably in better shape because instead of out training bad decisions I actually consider what I eat, how I eat, and the way in which I exercise.
I can't stay up late anymore, but I also still have a hard time getting up early. When do I stop wanting a solid 10
