If you're 60 or older, come join me. Let's talk, hang out, tease and support each other.

I just saw this thread and figured I belonged here.

Ahemmmmm..... I was 62 in Sept. I, too, am in awe that I've lived to be this age. I'm vital, active, and have a sharp mind (that does fog once in awhile). I feel 35 most days, until I realize that may body just can't do that little fancy step as gracefully as it once did.

Ironically, I'm finding that at this age, I truly am younger in body, mind, and spirit than I was two or three years ago. I hike, I dance, I work out. I change my own light bulbs (even though I'm only 5' 1"---a 4 foot ladder is a must-have). I'm learning to do maintenance on my own car. I even put together five pieces of furniture-in-a-box and only had to unscrew and turn a piece a couple of times! (I'm spatially challenged--even with a diagram). I'm also beginning to paint again and lead a women's spiritual group. I travel alone, and I enjoy meeting people wherever I go. And I still am working.

In a nutshell, I like being me. So, hello to all of you elders.
