Is old a state of mind or age? My husband says we are getting old.
I am still so active and into everything. I love rollercoasters and theme parks and all those kind of things. We are grand parents but I just do not feel "old"

Im not as good as I once was but I'm as good once as I ever was.
If you can say this, you're still OK.
I still feel like a kid

You're not "old." But your husband sounds as if he is. Whatever your age, if you like rollercoasters, you are at least young at heart. I know old, because I'm there, but it's mostly because my health is so poor right now that I just feel old. I'm 63. On good days I don't think old so I'm not. So old is a state of mind, and believe me, you're not old.

Well, the thing is, everyone is getting old, that's what people do.
The cool thing is that with the life expectancy rate going up a whopping 10 years, age 30 is the new 20 and etc.
I say, tell your husband to shut up and put on your prettiest dress-its one life, so live it!

That's great! Keep that mind-set! This is the way that my Father in-law used to think! He would laugh at people his own age and say, "look at those old farts". He was 87 going on 65 when he finally couldn't fight more than five consequetive heart attacks.

age is just a number asigned to number of yrs you have lived. however the higher the number the wiser you should be ?
sometime at 59 i feel like young man trapped in an old mans body?
still feel like kid on the inside wants to have fun enjoy what time i got left in this world!

Age is just a number and you are old once you give up doing the things you use to enjoy and settle for less.

I don;t know how old, "old" is. i'm 55, and when I get old, I'll tell you then. Age IS a state of mind. My son is 35, and already old. Don't get "old" until death calls for you.....ride that roller coaster, dance like nobody's watching, and stay "young"!....forever!

You only start to notice the age when you feel old. There is nothing wrong with you.
