hehe. I'm only 72, but to tell the truth, since I changed my diet and increased my level of physical activity I feel better now than I felt at 50-something. It's never too late to tell yourself "Every day, in every way, I'm getting better and better."

we are raising our 10 year old great-grandson and have been for 9 years. I am sure I would have died by now if we weren't. He has a 1 year old sister and we will probably end up raising her too, at least I hope so. Some people should not have children.

I sign in 60+ if there is a slot for age.
60+ is all I will state for the next 5.25 years.

Hope your day was remarkable!

time sure flies, doesn't it?

when i was little and it took forever for xmas or summer vacation to come my nana used to tell me that the older i got the faster time would go. of course i didn't believe her.

i don't remember how old i was when i first felt it starting to speed up (probably in my early 30s when my daughter was little) but there have been countless times when i remember her words and absolutely agree.

anyway, hope you had a nice day and will continue to have nice days.
