No, it's not what you might think. It's not the body breaking down. No, I'm used to not being able to wear my old hippie jeans or ride my mountain bike anymore. What really steams my noodle is that my mind acts like I'm still 37! Not fair! The mind still has the attitude and thinks the same but the body has other plans. I'm going to be 75 in November.

I know perfectly what you mean, I turned 75 in February, my mind thinks that I am still in my 30s, but my body has another opinion.

Well, there's a saying that we're only as old as we feel. And, I believe it.

I hear what you're saying. I don't mentally feel like I'm 79.

With all the new technology I am wondering if they will soon come with something to slow down aging.
