I'm aware - but don't think about it much. Since I've held up pretty well ( with consciencious maintenance), not really too concerned.

At age 81, my body remindsme of my age often -- whether I like it or not.

I don't really think about it. Every now and then I'll get a reminder that I'm not 20 anymore...when it takes a little longer to recover from a hangover, for example. Otherwise, I don't think about my age much. Every year I get older means another year I survived, so I see aging as a blessing.

it gets worse

Everytime I climb a set of stairs, get on a dance floor or swim laps at my girlfriend's pool I am reminded that I'm not a kid anymore.

My body will remind me regularly of how long we have crawled together over this earth. I am thrilled to have had the years to experience my own, personal adventures and now to have a hippie grandson I can share my stories with.

Don't need to, don't want to. Still act age-inappropriate on occasion. Letting my silver grow out. Chiropractor keeps me mobile and flexible. All I gotta do is act naturally. I wasn't able to be myself for many years. Now - look out.

Nothing's really reminding me of age (43), I'm just out of shape. At least that's what I tell myself. And I go to the gym and sometimes it works. I am in better shape that I was in my 20s or even most of my 30s, though, so there's that.

My hair gets a little gray around my face. Just the other day, I went to the stylist and tweaked the way I get my hair highlighted. I'm going to stop trying so hard to cover the gray.

I'm not going down without a fight! I feel 29 inside and I will live a fitness lifestyle until my last day regardless of the health issues that may confront me. Age is only a number. It is my state of mind that ultimately determines my abilities. I will do whatever I must to live a full and happy life!

Don't need no remainder, I see it everyday on the mirror !!!!!

At 53, for the first time with a diagnosis, I have a sense that my life is finite. It's not just words on paper anymore, it's personal. I've been fishing around for over a year trying to absorb this new reality and gut reaction was the blues like I haven't been blue in many years and that lasted a few months. But, happily have reached my go with the flo, own it before it owns you approach: I aim to go gray. It will be a process, take time, be something I can grow into. Fortunately, it's a new fad and I think more than a fad, embracing gray has become chic. Beyond hair, so many of us value our elders, the aging process, the wisdom that comes with experience, the realities of wear and tear. I want to quietly celebrate my existence, every day, as it comes.

...'acted inappropriate'...how? Was it silly, childish, insulting or just plain stupid? Did you order some of that new men's 'butt lift,' underwear, that keeps popping up...when I try and read my news feeds! If it is worse than these, maybe you should just fess-up...so that you can be 'word flogged,' on this site! I have not noticed that I 'acted' much different while aging than I did...as my younger self. I can't run now...but I haven't been tested lately, either! Oh! The loss of my once long and flowing hair, has changed, that was an act of nature...that I did not appreciate! We may get old and appear to be slower, but it is not necessary to act old! Just keep 'acting' the way you have always done...in spite of dropped words, being bald, wrinkles and no long distance running ability! Inappropriate how? That is the question?

I ignore it. As long as my body works and does what I want, I don't worry about it.

I'm so far from "normal" at this point it never crosses my mind. I'm breathing so I'm not going to complain about it, lol. I also find that most of the people who act my age are exceedingly boring, but that might have more to do with my maturity level than my age.

TBH the ONLY time age has been an issue is at the VA. I've had tons of issues health-wise for my age, which means, since it is a teaching hospital, I'm usually a lab rat. It goes something like this:

Them: "Wow! You shouldn't have had all this stuff for a man of your age!"

Me: "Really, chucklenuts? That medical school education is really paying off, huh?"

Okay, I don't respond like that. I sure the hell am thinking it though.

I need no reminders. It's just always so damned painfully obvious.

My joints remind me constantly. The gray hair does its share also.

It is kind of weird all of a sudden I was saying I was 60 and that is not that far from 70 and I look what I am doing on my land and it doesnt really make sense
