@Vivian, I think it is great that you are entering a new decade. I also think it is wonderful that you are so active.
I am 61. My parents both died at the age of 65 and that made me aware of the ticking clock. I had a very high stress job and I deliberately retired at the age of 50 with my parents' clock in my head. I am so glad I did.
I count my life in months left. It gives me perspective. For some reason I am sure I will live longer than my parents but who knows? I have buried three of my ten siblings (ALS, early onset Alzheimers and lung cancer) already. As the eigth and youngest girl, I am pretty sure I will be tending to more family when the time comes.
I am grateful for each day and I surround myself with people who bring me joy.
I have a very good friend who is very active at the age of 71. She is my role model. I hope I am as active as she is and you are.
Keep on dancing and have a wonderful birthday. LM

It's odd how some birthdays hit us. The only one that got to me was my 26th! Suddenly, I was on the "wrong" side of 25 and close to the "dreaded" 30. I can't explain why that bothered me. When I turned 65 a year ago, it didn't faze me because I don't think of myself as that old, but I don't mind it, fight it, or lie about my age. I am happy on every birthday, but I totally understand that one birthday can affect you more than another. 70 is not old, especially for someone like you who goes to dance class. I feel good if I get on my Exercycle for 20-39 minutes. In the summer, I swim every day.

When my DH turned 70 it seemed to hit him hard as well.
A good frend who was the same age as my Mother once told me to really enjoy my 60's as they were the best time of her life - not having to work but still young enough to enjoy doing things. I think that statement could apply to your 70's now a days.People are living full lives for much longer. So have a great birthday tomorrow.

Happy birthday, Vivian. It's a pleasure to read your posts. Yes, 70 is going to bug me, too! Hope you had a great day!

I went to Zumba and then a weight lifting class today. Being able to get through all that made me realize that age is just a number. I'm still a dancing fool. My Zumba instructor told me that I'm very graceful. That made my day. I'm OK with 70.
