I can see why reversing ten years & sticking there might appeal, but on the other hand ... Have you seen Groundhog Day? No matter how creative & enterprising you are, you are bound to eventually exhaust the pleasures & possibilities of any one age.

And as I come up on 66 yrs--even acknowledging all the unexpected physical & mental health problems that pop up with annoying frequency--I am not displeased with the richness of my life as each day follows slightly different from the one before. Amazing people pass through, I go to places I never expected to be, & experiences come my way that sometimes seem to belong to someone else's life. Nope, I wouldn't have predicted any of it ... but I'm curious what's next.

So you might want to rethink that wish. Or just be glad it won't be coming true. There are some rough days, & an occasionally devastating one. Most are fair to middlin'. And once in a while one is ... splendid.
