Take the best care of yourself as possible. Yes, of course, some people will have medical issues that are beyond their control and that have to be addressed and that's fine. But don't wither away in a pity party of aging!

Thank you.

What Tulip said!

And I will add - my mother is 86, will be 87 in March. She is still active, though slowing down a bit. Four years ago my son and I had her riding a bike in Keystone, CO. She had not been on a bike in many years but as they say, you don't forget. She had a ball! She has lots of aches and pains but pushes past them and keeps active. I only hope to be that way when I "grow up".

I, too, have many aches and pains but I will be darned if I am going to let them stop me. I am determined to fight age every step of the way!
