My high school class is holding a "We turned 60!" party next month.

I can't wait to go.

At our 40th reunion 2 years ago, we all vowed to get together every year or more.

We all finally have the time and energy to enjoy each other's company - no kids to shuttle around, careers to build (climbing that corporate ladder!).

Plenty of people ACT old at 50! Ever read how some people write posts? I'm mid 50's and hope I never act old! My parents never did even when much older! My two aunts 85 and 87 are classy, withit broads! I want to be like them, aging with class and grace! I imagine if you're ill, things would be different!

Yes, if one is ill, nothing really matters. I do think that the older one gets the higher the changes of becoming ill. Certainly, the last 35 years is hardly the same as the first 35... I say live to the fullest regardless of your age!

bucki, real sorry,,,,I've lost too, it's a real bummer, aye?

Yup, it is. He was 10 years younger than me, and we used to tease that it was perfect because women outlive men by about 10 years. All I have to say is, it better be like the movie "The Ghost and Mrs Muir" and when I die and he greats me I've regained my youth!!!

BuckINana - So sorry for the loss of your loved one. 'The Ghost and Mrs. Muir' is probably one of my top three favorites and I watch and re-watch it when I can. I understand your desire to greet your hubby when you make your transition.

Terrier - Your reunions are a great idea! We need to come together to support each other in life and all its challenges and changes.

Fifi1 - I've met folks who act old at 30 and some young moms who act old just because they had a child. No need to make life such a drudgery.

Sadly, if that's their outlook, there is likely nothing you can say that will change their view of aging. I was 7 years old when my maternal grandfather retired in 1962, at age 62. As a child, I remember thinking Papaw was old, but more importantly, I remember that Papaw acted like he was old. Prior to his retirement, he purchased a beautiful black 1962 Chevrolet Impala, which he referred to as "the last car I'll ever own". Within a few years after retiring, Papaw gave that car to my mother, because he felt "he was too old to be driving". Papaw didn't do anything to stay young and involved in life, and his health issues didn't start until he was well past 70. He retired and spent the summers sitting on the front porch making friends with the squirrels in his yard. In the winter he focused on keeping his coal stove fired up to the point the house was sweltering, and watching television, or napping. Papaw died within a week after his 77th birthday, and was always amazed he lived to that ripe old age. His father lived to age 95; one sister lived into her early 90's, and the other sister lived to 103. I was lucky enough to be able to spend time with both of them, and saw the same similarities in all of them with how they reflected on being "old", long before their age defined them as old.

I'll be 60 in October and I do my best to stay active, exercise, eat right, etc. I'm in good health, except for a little arthritis in my left knee, which has improved since I lost a little weight and make sure I exercise regulary. Yes, I'm older, I'm not getting any younger, none of us are but I always took ahead, make plans, stay current on events, enjoy my part time job and my children, my friends. Health is my main concern, if DH and I can stay healthly, it's all good.

My mom is gorgeous at 88! When Helen Mirren is old, then I'll be old. Until then, I feel like a 20 yr old. I just wished I still had my 20 yr old body....
