I’m not interested in age. People who tell me their age are silly. You’re as old as you feel.
Henri Frederic Amiel
As old as I feel? There’s quite an age range in that answer. Although my chronological age is now sixty, if I answered the question ‘How old are you?’ with an age that I felt – some days I’d be twenty, some days I’d be eighty.
I’m laughing to myself as I think that from now on, I’ll answer the question with an age that I’m feeling. However, the problem exists in that not many people ask my age any more. Is it something about how the older we get, other people want to be polite and not go there? I’m not sure. But those are musings for another day. Today I’m reflecting on the words above and how they relate to my life.
Since other people rarely ask me my age anymore, maybe I’ll just start asking myself every day. The catch is that I have to answer honestly – and if I get an answer I don’t like, I have to resolve to do something about it – either in a physical manner or in giving myself an attitude adjustment.
How old are you feeling today?

I have to say I feel all 63 years I’ve been on this third rock from the Sun, but that’s physically. Mentally, I’m 18.

Great answer, John! You’re just a few steps ahead of me on this path. Waving at you!

Hmm, right now I feel all of my 70 years. Tomorrow I hope I’ll be back to maybe 22!

Just don’t go back too far – then you’ll turn me into the big sis instead of the little sis.

I rarely think of the number of my age though I’m fully aware that I’m slowing down. I’m kind of shocked when I think of the #. In a lot of ways this brings me a feeling of freedom, curiousity and contentment I haven’t had before.

Oh, yuck, Deb. I’m sorry to hear that. You’re entitled to feel your age on those days. I hope you’re soon over it and rarin’ to go.
