I really don't know what to make of what I have been reading. My initial feeling is that you obsess too much on your age. It's not the numbers. It's how you feel. I acknowledge that some of you have serious ailments that complicate things and must be factored into the equation. But for the rest of us we (or I) just keep going on. I am 89 years old. I lost my husband two years ago. We had been married for 59 years and it is still rough. However I am living independently. With the help of a cleaning person who comes every three weeks, I am able to do everything myself. I am also able to drive myself wherever I need to go. Even on the freeways. It's true I am not making any long range plans, but I have a cruise planned for the summer. As long as my health stays the way it is I am just going to go on without letting my age take over.
