Me too!
Attitude has a profound effect on how one feels about their age, health and outlook.
Every day I see many who are 10-20 years younger than me and they look and behave much older. (I am early 80's).
In addition to attitude is activity. Keep moving. I still walk 1 1/2 to 2 miles every morning. I average 10,000 to 12,000 steps per day. I concentrate on talking normal, standing straight strides and not shuffling along. There is a propensity for too many to not stray from home as they age/get older.....avoid it if at all possible.
Then there is outlook. A poor or negative outlook will greatly affect how old one feels or thinks they are.
We, my wife and I still plan, schedule and do things and go places the same way we did when we were younger.
There are that work the being older status for one benefit or another.
When I need the cooperation of the kids or grandchildren or friends I smilingly remind them we are part of the here today gone tomorrow generation.
Eat and stay healthy! It delays getting older even though the birthdays continue.
