Kirk Tanaka, So true. I liked the expression I read somewhere, "every woman knows her age (once she decides on it !!!)"

Life is NOT a dress rehearsal, you don't usually get two shots at it, so make the most of every day and be thankful and grateful for the positive things that you have. Some people don't look their age, some don't ACT their age - as long as you're happy or content within yourself, enjoy every day. Try and do something nice for somebody if possible. It may just lift their day too.

Tanya Greenwell Reaux, Good for you. Well done, you're an inspiration. I agree about laughing. It really is one of the best medicines, and it doesn't cost much, just someone to share it with.

I'm 77 years young and fit with all the walking I do with my dog. I don't want to disparage any of those you have picked but Jim Arrington......

j j p zapater, good for you two. Wish you two all the happiness possible. Attitude has a lot to do with life, also. Laugh and the world laughs with you. Cry, you cry alone. My belief, for many years, since l read that quote as a teen, so l laugh quite a bit. People say l don’t look my age, well, that is a gift from God, for l don’t use oils and greases. Don’t like the feel of them on me.
