Yesterday, the 18th of February, was my 48th birth anniversary. Yes, I turned a year older again! Time flies but mentally, I'm still in my 30s. Physically? Still in my 30s. Still skinny as I used to, but not underweight. Wrinkles? Where? I don't see any. Some old folks who saw me two days ago after more than a decade told me I still looked the same. They were probably lying!

Belated Happy Birthday. I am sure that those who said that you still look the same do not lie. I am a lot older than you are, but mentally I am also still in my 30s and I almost see no wrinkles, only some small lines at the side of my mouth, I am guilty of smiling a lot.

I don't smile a lot. That's probably why I don't have lines around my mouth. We are forever young anyway.

@LadyDuck Good genes, eating healthy food, and exercise help a lot. I love the sun and I sunbathe quite a lot as a kid and even in my early 40s. I love the outdoors a lot from swimming to cycling. But I have quit cycling when I became busy with crochet and I developed a tennis elbow.

@toniganzon - Those around my mouth are the only small lines. Even my niece told me that my face always looks the same as the one of a young girl.

I thought today was the 18th. I can still remember being in my 30s. A fun time in my life. I am lucky to have no wrinkles too. Thank you heredity. Keep on doing what you are doing. Happy Birthday!

Than you Amber. I don't really celebrate my birthday coz it's the last day I saw my parents alive when I turned 13. I am grateful that I was born on that day and for my life, but at the same time sad remembering the last day I spent with my parents.

@toniganzon When I was almost 21 and came to Germany with my husband, my mother-in-law scolded her son for marrying a 12 years old girl. That was so funny. I look younger than my age, even now.

Happy belated Birthday. I am willing to bet those 'old' folks were not lying, I did not start to get wrinkly until my late 50s but it was subtle.

I'm sure they don't have time to lie @toniganzon. Maybe just take it as a complement.

belated happy birthday toni. If at 48 you maintained your fit body, you have done a fabulous job. I have put on weight and as so much of work pressure is there in university, i get least time to exercise

I'm extremely busy too, no time to exercise or I use it as an excuse not to. There's always time for exercise no matter how busy we are. Just up to us to find it.

Belated happy birthday to you. Did you have a party? You are still young. 48 is just a number. What matters is how healthy you are.
