You are younger than you look

In a few days, I will be officially 66 years old. Yep, I am now a Senior Citizen, and I realize that each time I look into a mirror, or stand-up from a kneeling position. Gravity has taken over along with the background music of popping and crackling of bones. I guess I can not really complain too much. I meet guys, my age, daily who can not do the activities I do regularly. I know my movability is getting more limited with time. Some of those other guys look and act 10 to 20 years older than me. Yesterday, I ran into one of my old neighbors. He was saying he is SO old at 67. He could not ride his horse as much as he wanted. "I am not young like you Harrold." "Well, how old do you think I am?" "Late 50s?" That made me feel REAL good. I'll take a couple years of looking and acting younger anytime.

I guess, in some aspects, I am lucky. I have led an active physical life. I have tried to stay in shape, I eat pretty good, and SOMETIMES, taken care of my body and mind. But we all are victims to our GENES. Some of mine are not too good either. It's good when you are 35 and get "carded", or pass for you daughter's sister, or someone says you look 10 years younger than you truly are. Those are the good days. Then there are the days you hurt all over. I try to work through those days and go on with life. As you can see in the photos, like most of us, I've change from my high school senior year to now. I have become thankful for what I still have from my youth. I am still at my high school weight, I still have most of my hairand teeth, and my health is still pretty good. I guess the bottom line is, be thankful for what you have, stay positive and continue to fight off age by excerising your body and mind, eating right and living life by doing fun things. It WILL help you cope with "father-time". BYW...my moustache is Blonde, not gray. LOL! Maybe half and half.
