I feel fine but like others have said I have to pick my battles.

I do experience a little sadness when I realize that I will never do certain things again but I have plenty of good memories.

I'm still finding new ways to get into all the trouble I'm able to handle, LOL!!!

Getting into trouble is one of my best talents.
 

This poll is so old I can't remember if I responded to it already or not. Does that answer the question? Lol

But, no, I do not at all feel my age of 70. I still can't believe I am 70 if only I never had any mirrors in my house. But one thing does make me feel older although that started in 1997 when I was hired to work in a hospital and they give you a physical and blood tests. Mine showed that I never had the mumps or German measles and I was suggested (well, I said they said I SHOULD, but they disputed that) I get an MMR vaccine.

So, I did. And two days later I could not get out of bed because my knees were locked. I rolled out of bed and on the floor to get anywhere. I had to call in to say I couldn't get to work. To make a long story short I was kind of scolded for not coming to work when I couldn't even bend my knees for days. And on top of some other things, I quit before I had hardly even started!

But anyway, my knees have never been the same since. Oh, walking up stairs or any heights is perfectly fine. but walking down stairs has some discomfort. And also if I crouch down I have to mainly hold on to something to not have some discomfort getting up. Other than that, I'm good.
 
I am closing in on 61 but apart from my dodgy knees I don't feel any different to forty years ago-when I thought 30 sounded old!
