Stevie --
Still mulling this over, but offhand, here are some things I believe about being 60 years old -- 60 is the new 40. Maybe 45. With our medical advances and nutritional/exercise knowledge, we who are turning 60 soon have the bodies, and mindsets, of a 40-45 year old. That said, you are responsible for keeping your body and mind healthy and young! You appear to be doing that on both counts. Also, according to all my nursing and psychology texts, a 60 y.o. is still considered middle aged. You don't hit old age for another 10 years or so, and again, it goes back to keeping your body and mind healthy and young. I'm sure you know, as I do, 60 year olds who look, act, and think like an 80 year old. By the same token, you have seen 60 y.olds who look, act, and think like a 40 year old. I know people who are in their 70's, early 80's who act and feel younger than some I know who are 60-ish. You have the power to make your 60 what you want. To me, it's young!
