I never figured out whether I’m lucky or not. Have lived with chronic pain since I was 18 (RA in hip and spine), so the old age aches and pains are routine for me. I felt really old when I turned 25 — couldn’t get past the fact it was a quarter of a century. Starting telling folks I was 26 and that was just fine. Now, really don’t feel that much older. Have the same limitations (almost) as I did at 40. So, mentally in my 30s, physically in my 50s. Reality is 67. Not too bad.
