How long it took me to accept middle age and poof, I am now old age. But remember a person has 3 ages, the age on his birth certificate, the age of his body and the age of his mind. My bod is about 99+ but my head is only 16; see the problem???
Take it from me, guys. It reverses itself. In my sixties I felt like I was in my seventies. Now that I’m in my seventies I feel like I’m in my (late) eighties.
Getting old (or older) beats the alternative. I’m now 61 and as a kid I thought that I would never see the real “2001.” (Hey! Aren’t we supposed to have colonies on the Moon now?)

Don’t take so long reconciling.

I try not to reconcile my actual age with the one I feel like. It causes a temporal distortion.

Wait till you’re 64 and realize the government will soon give you a health care card that basically says you are officially old.

The 60th birthday shows up even faster! Where does the time go? I can’t even figure out what happened to summer this year.

I guess the old saying is the best….just take it one day at a time. I just turned 69.

I’m 67 and just told some college aged kids I work with that I was “Sassy and Sultry”… loved the look on their faces!

I’m 73 and have no bones about it. I like to say I’ve traveled many roads, many of them unpaved !!
