I'm thinking the goal is to get old but still feel you can do all of the things you did when younger. They just take longer now.


57 years trapping. It's who I am. Every day is still as exciting as it was when I was a kid but a little more work.

When I was 10, 20 was old. When I was 20, 40 was old. When I was 50 I didnt feel old till I went hunting with some 20 year olds. Now I just think old is better than the alternative

In my opinion, it has nothing to do with years. Some people spend their lives landing on the tarmac. Others pretty much land off the runway, outside the lights...

I read a quote once “it is a privilege to get old. Many people don’t get this privilege.”

I'm 65. I just retired on Jan. 31. Still trying to find my rhythm. Sometimes I still feel like I'm 20 years old, other times I feel like 90! grin
The old saying, "Growing old is not for sissies" sure is true.

So here I sit on my butt on day 12 following surgery for a ruptured Achilles. Doc's orders are toes above the nose for 23 of 24 hrs each day for the 1st 14 days. I don't know what will change on Wed (day 14), but I do know I am looking at about 6 months before I am close to back right again from the Achilles. What got me here was overusing and then straining my right leg due to sciatica in the left. The sciatica appeared out of nowhere last May/June and is caused by spinal stenosis. Up to that time I was working my butt off clearing downed trees from a field, cutting it up with a chainsaw, and splitting firewood with a maul. I was 67 when the sciatica came on, and prior to that I was fit and agile, running 3 miles 3x a week to maintain aerobic fitness, and didn't feel anything close to old. Here I am at 68, sitting on my butt and still need surgery to address the stenosis and get rid of the sciatica. I'm feeling kind of old right now.

The idea is to die young as late as possible. I think a lot of feeling old is a mind thing. I think we don't do things because we think we are old. Mind over body.

I just want to know at what age am allowed to just say whatever I want to without getting punched in the face? I know there is an age because I've seen it many times... "Man, pull up your pants. You look like an idiot." "Get a hair cut there Sally." "You don't miss many meals do you?" "Dang, her butt is wider than a barn door." ... but no one hits them cause you can't hit a guy that age. lol

I consider every birthday a blessing and a curse.
