Your father is a wise man. I agree with him. I want my body to be 25 again, too!!!It's the kind of age when you know you're not young; but are still hesitant to consider yourself old although you understand this rationally
My father (81 this year) says: you always feel 25 in your heart, it's just that more and more parts hurt. So far this seems very accurate to me.
Yes, nature has been good to Slovenia. The land is glorious; the country, as a political entity, maybe not so much but... You know how they say "the grass is greener on the other side of the fence" and how people like to go "oh this is ONLY possible in our country" whenever they have a bad experience. Well, there's a lot of that. In the end it's the individual perspective that counts.
I was just discussing things with my wife the other day and we decided we're actually old hippies. We were born a bit late for that (late 60's) but that's what it's come to.
Born in the late 60s, or are in your late 60s? If the former, then we're the same age, lol! I was born in 67.
