Other than a few aches and pains now and then, I don't think about it much. I have earned every wrinkle on this beautiful face, my status symbols. Each day is a different experience and I always have fun. Enjoying life everyday doesn't give me much time to think about age. Age is a state of mind, anyway! Live each day to your fullest!

 :)getting old is a part of life and you cannot avoud it unless you die first.  Some people focus on age; as long as i am feeling good and my health is okay I am not worried about a number.  I know pople who are 65 and get around better than people who are 30 or even younger.  Good health really doesnt have a age; so i think that is more important than worrying about a number

It starts from the day we are born and we know that eventually we will die. Until that time comes... I plan on living :)

Age is a number - My mom is 80 years old and still works full time cleaning apartments. She says it keeps her young.

a few years ago, didn't much matter to me.  Thought I could grow old gracefully.  Not so.  I am still in pretty good health, but needing some tune ups that I am not much looking forward to.  I don't care to much for having watch my diet. for example caffiene now bothers me while trying to sleep.  Doesn't seem like that big of a deal, but wait until you are tired from a poor nights rest.  What I am saying is if a person could grow old without major problems then great all for it.  Does not seem to be the case for people in my family.  We are good for along time and then just that fast we are not.

I don't know what age you consider old, but I thank the Lord for everyday I awake and have two legs, arms, eyes a to see, thank you lord for letting me see another day.  I don't like it but we live to get old, my children are grown and I am a grandmother and loving it.

I am not old but my father and grandfather are. They have a habit of asking me things on repeat and I hate it to my core. My aunt says not to take it like that they may be coming down with altimeters wow I hate to be asked the same thing over and over.  :icon_rr:

What do mean getting?? I'm there already, babe. I turn 65 in March ( They already sent me my Medicare card) I don't mind it much, I slim strong and excercise (cardio and weight training) 5 or 6 days a week, and have for years. No major health issues yet, good blood pressure and sugar levels and no prescription drugs. I live and eat in a healthy way and I'm always researching the latest health topics. Health for me is way of life. I wish all older people the same  vitality I have. But I tell you, it takes work and knowledge...so empower yourself! :thumbsup:

altimeters... too funny.  I used to think 30 was old.  Then when I turned 32 I thought 40 was old.  At forty, I ran from 50.  At 50 I finally said WTF, I gotta start counting back down to keep up.  Now I'm only 45 and still counting back down.  I'm starting to feel like we start living at 65, when we know everything from experience, and then go back a year at a time and use that experience to make the best decisions in our earlier years.  Just think....   Babies would be the most enlightened minds of all time then.  Wait a minute, sometimes I think that's the way they are now!..... ??? :dontknow: :o

At 32 all I can think of is what I USED to do when I was in my 20's
