Seniors, do you feel just the way you should at your age? Do you feel younger than your age, or older? Overall, physically and mentally, how do you feel about your present age...take the poll and see what others think!

I feel like I'm a little bit younger than my present age.
 

Starting to feel my age. Have always been very active and a multi-tasker, my job required it, but now it's getting harder to focus on more than one thing. I am still young at heart and do my share of fooling around, but the bod is starting to fall apart piece by piece. But then I hear of other peoples problems and realize just how lucky I am.:sentimental:
 
Physically I feel about right for my age, have a few health problems but can still get the housework
done, do the shopping and pay the bills and enjoy a few social outings.
Mentally I feel younger than my age but that is likely how most seniors feel.
 
I'm only 78 and I still have so many things I would like to do,
However my old legs will not let me, having trouble Walking
and I'm starting fall a lot have use a cane. It look like I need
to sell my Motorhome and take up the rocking chair on my front porch.

I feel sleepy and grumpy, but don't tell Snow White.

The thing that puzzles me is, how am I supposed to feel "for my age"? What is my age supposed to feel like? Is there a government database somewhere that defines it, or should I visit my friendly local physician to determine how I "should" feel?

The only usable scale I have access to right now is looking at my fellow human beings, and that's all over the place- there are 56-year-olds who run a triathlon every weekend, just as a break from their weekday job of mining coal with their bare hands.

Then there are the 56-year-olds who have morphed into being part of their recliners and are covered in a thick layer of Cheet-O's dust and sticky soda residue.

I answered that I feel "younger" because I have encountered more of the latter group than the former. I'm not in the hospital, not taking drugs, not experiencing aches or pains of any kind, so I consider myself both lucky and "young".

Not really, because we all have different pain thresholds.

I know people that pass out when they get scratched by a thorn. Others have sewn themselves up after having a sword stuck into their kidney.

And, "everything"? That's a scary thought ...
 
Statistically, we are all getting older second by second.

But when I see a georgeous woman, I do feel about a decade younger....

:lol:
 
I just turned 74, & really haven't caught up yet, I'm just feeling my way through the fifties.
That will take a few years yet!:fun::lofl:
