My maternal grandmother lived to be 92, and several aunts and uncles on my father's side have lived into their 90s. Hoping I got <i>those</i> genes.<br /><br />Duly Inspired, thank you! Sounds like you've learned to make good health decisions at a much earlier age than I did.Linda@VShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04499621332375290781noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21612081.post-83912811909052047332012-12-05T08:45:08.857-06:002012-12-05T08:45:08.857-06:00Happy belated birthday!

At 50 this year, I notice a few changes as well... but you inspire me to take control of what I am able to (diet and exercise). I wish you all the best in your new years!

You're right about the value of life experience, and I also treasure the extra time I have to spend on favorite activities now that I'm retired. I'm really very happy with my life, 70 or not. Sorry if I came across as whiny. :)Linda@VShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04499621332375290781noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21612081.post-50489994385250556672012-11-30T18:00:04.325-06:002012-11-30T18:00:04.325-06:00Happy birthday!

What about the depth and breadth of the life you've lived? When I hit the big 7-0 my first impulse was to say, "well, I can pass for a while and people will think I'm in my 60s." Then I got real. Yes, maybe I can pass (I've been told so.) but I decided to fess up and started a blog called Big7-0andgoing strong. I don't have to make an effort to write about the positives because my every day life IS positive. The physical deficits? Yeah, I've got them, but they're not getting in the way of living the life I want to live. Have wonderful 7th decade!June Calenderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00265808476144632255noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21612081.post-22772296667584180512012-11-28T22:20:45.541-06:002012-11-28T22:20:45.541-06:00Hope it was the happiest of days!
