It is my birthday. I only note this because I am 67. My age does not bother me, but it kinda boggles my mind that I am three years away from 70. I never thought I would be in as good of a shape as I am--is anyone else amazed to make it to an advanced age to find it is not as expected? Positive or negative? Mine is quite positive.

I never thought that I would see 40, I made it past that and then some. I lived a hard life, from dirt bike riding, to nothing off limits .I always figured you're only here once, make it worth it. Maybe not the best attitude, I'm paying for it now, but no regrets .I did what I wanted.

And happy birthday, of course 
@Gwendolyn2018 That explains. I found 50 of them.
@Gwendolyn2018 I wouldn't dream of it.
Happy Birthday! 
I turned 67 in January this year. Not bad for someone who never expected to make 30! Remember when we thought 30 was old?

Happy Birthday ! Yes, making it to this advanced age is amazing. Sometimes I feel in every way like I am young. That can fool or injure me, because when I get tired, stressed, depressed, it lasts longer, so I'm not as resilient as when younger. Exercise makes a big difference in how I feel and think, as do careful diet and alcohol. I use grass more often, which helps.

Happy Birthday! Age never really bothered me until I hit 70. I have been in kind of a funk ever since. I am still healthy, but for some reason it bothers me. Maybe that feeling will go away, but it has been a year and a half. We will see.

@Gwendolyn2018 Me too. I never had another birthday hit me like that one. I am thinking about seeing someone about it. I thought it would have gone away after couple of weeks or months. It is not there all of the time, but enough that it I feel the weight of it more often than I would like.
I'm 69 and will be 70 in 6 months. It is a scary to me that I will be that old, numbers can sometime really screw you up for no reason.
@PickledRick It certainly has me messed up.
Happy Birthday! Time does fly. I am also in better shape physically than I was in my forties. Feeling positive

@Gwendolyn2018 - Congrats on your weight loss, you look stunning (love your long locks). it is not easy to break old bad habits, but it is never too late to start living helathier. At my heaviest, I was 230 and size 18 was getting tight - I am now a size 12 and feeling so much better. I am actually looking forward to my next dr. appointment to see how my cholesteral is.... (it was borderline last time).
