Lately I have been reading so much about older peoples achievements. A 89y old lady winning swimming records for her age group. A 102y old lady teaching japanese. An older couple(can't remember their ages) walking around Australia. etc. etc.
One of my elderly neighbours walks every morning one kilometre to the local Swimming Pool, and then walks back again, and twice a week she helps in one of our OP Shops.
Here I am sitting on my backside, doing nothing constructive. Do you agree with this fellows ideology; Age is in your mind. ?
I should be ashamed of myself for always finding excuses not to get out of the house and smell the roses. It is either to hot, or to wet and windy, or to cold. What other excuses can I find?

Age is just a number in your mind
What a clique.
Sounds good but doesn't listen well.
How a person ages depends a lot on their lifestyle and mental attitude.
But it primarily depends on their genes.
Some people have bad health, some have extremely good health.
Non are responsible for what they inherit from their gene pool......physically or mentally.

I know 40 year olds who are ancient compared to some 70 year olds.
Anyway, people should be able to do what they want to do and lead the life that makes them happiest.
