Than I Am

 

When I was a teenager, old was like my parents, in their early 40's. Very old, bordering on ancient, were my grandparents, in their early 60's.

 

Now I will be 71 years old this week, I don't think of myself as old. Sure I am older than my children, grandchildren and great grandchild and even my wife. Perhaps they might think of me as old, but I don't.

 





 



 





Recently someone in their 50's told me how old they felt. Their knees were hurting and their back was sore. They felt very old. They could feel themselves diminishing. Maybe feeling old is an attitude.

 

I hope I never feel old.
