I so agree with you. An acquaintance became slightly irritated with me several days ago when I said that I refuse to use the term, " I'm old". I will not allow that mindset to inhabit my brain space. She said something to the effect of believing that God wants us to be as He sees us. I did not respond to that accusation and found myself taken aback by her twisted opinion. I will be 75 in 2 weeks and even though my mind isn't as sharp as it once was, my feet don't move as quickly as I would like at times, and my health has taken several unplanned turns, God has blessed me with a smile and a positive attitude and a desire to live my life and not sit on the sidelines and watch it pass me by.
