My mom always said she felt "pretty peppy" until her 90th birthday. She thought that did sound old.

I usually have seen a decline in people between 92-95 so I hope I don't feel old until then. I think health has almost everything to do with how young you feel.

I still feel pretty young and healthy at 63. However, I've noticed they now let 12-year-olds play professional sports and report the news.

When I happen to see some lovely piece of eye candy and realize that I'm old enough to be the parent, no, the grandparent of said sweet young thing. And I'm not talking about anyone under the age of 21.

I'm expecting to feel old on my next birthday when I turn 70. SEVENTY - how can that be?

Went to what I thought was a high school football game. Can't be. The dance team looked like they were in first grade!!!

Yeah, my granddaughter and I watch a lot of sports together and she always points out how that hot athlete could be my son....no wait, my grandson! Thanks a lot.

Why Expect that? Be aware of the words and thoughts we put into our subconscious...

I'm 80 and won't say those old words.

You are young...I was still going to the gym until 63 when my knee started to make more noises. I'm 80 and the wear and tear and hip replacement messes things up.

I'm 62 and feel like I'm on the cusp of entering feeling...older, rather than old. I can't take for granted literally running around without fearing possible consequences. My knees act up on occasion. I can't think like a physically active 35 year old anymore, or even 50-especially since I'm not athletic, though I'm at a good weight.

On another level, I'm feeling older because of an increasing disconnect with the currently prevailing culture, especially music. THAT makes me feel old. At least I know who Lady Gaga is.
