We try to remain as active as we can and sometime take on things we can not do as easily. My husband makes me laugh and it helps keep me young . We also still love the same kind of music we grew up with and we listen to what the kids like today so I think we are very young at heart! My mom was very active into her 70s. My dad passed away too young, at 73. We both try to keep heart healthy too!<br />I look forward to the day we can meet face to face. It will be nice to have you close. I know your kids will love it too but always tough leaving your roots and the place where you grew up!

Aging is not for the faint of heart!! My husband fell off a ladder last week, while doing something routine (cleaning out the gutters on the house)...he broke 2 ribs. The doctor told him that people over 50 should not be climbing ladders...so much for the graceful part of aging. <br />♥, Susanblack eyed susans kitchenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13214016311612642339noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4742343364632742295.post-58241927248629676142012-08-01T07:12:15.221-04:002012-08-01T07:12:15.221-04:00If you move you will miss NYC..

But I am still here and had a full life.<br />A mistake with the race horses, but traveling was great. The few business adventure's were just that.<br />When you are young the future is full of dreams. Life is a sort of test, or trial I think, to see who makes it work for them.

I think we need to keep adventure alive as we grow older... Adventures aren't just for the young alone! ;o) I will be 40 in December, and my husband TJ just turned 50. So we're getting to a stage where we think a lot about the future and starting to make some ideas and plans for it. I am optimistic.

But sharing it with someone you love is really the best reward. Some are not so lucky to have that love in the "autumn years," but even so, it's important to never stop learning and exploring.

But when parts slow down or stop working, you began to know "old age ain't for sissies."<br />SamSam Hoffer / My Carolina Kitchenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15358601435867848753noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4742343364632742295.post-32470054349968278892012-07-31T06:17:13.496-04:002012-07-31T06:17:13.496-04:00What a positive and upbeat attitude I found from y...What a positive and upbeat attitude I found from you as I read through this post.

I have enjoyed retirement more than I thought, I want to stay as fit as possible so that I can continue doing the things I love like travelling, gardening, playing tennis and bush walking. However, I am uneasy about getting older as I remember watching my dad die a slow death from cancer and watching my mum suffer with dementia. It scares me that one day it will be my turn.
