We have a 93 year old friend whose wife just died. She was 92. You cannot imagine how young he feels now. He was housebound while she was alive because she wasn't mobile and he never wanted to leave her with anyone else. Now he's out and about, walking everywhere, playing bridge every afternoon, and he tells us he feels the best he's felt in years. You can feel his energy and love for life. Age really is all attitude and perspective. The body might be crumbling, but if the mind and attitude are "young in spirit" why not! Why not go and do everything and anything your heart desires! I figure, the older you get, the more you deserve to do what you want to do.
