I think that age as a number is not nearly as important as health. You can be in poor health and be pretty miserable at 40 or 50. If you're in good health, you can enjoy things into your 80s.

I am feeling older every day.

And now, I feel at 85, I really feel that I'm just ready to start.

I always felt older than my years, maybe because I was married to someone older.

Please know that being 80 is not a scary thing. When you're 80, your life is much freer.

I don't know how to deal with being 80.

I'm not giving in to anyone else's idea of how I ought to feel and look at 70. 'Retirement' is not a word I can even visualize. I retire when I go to bed!

When I'm 80 and sitting in a rocking chair listening to the Rolling Stones, there is absolutely no way I'm going to feel old or forget my younger days.

I guess maybe when you get past 70, other people start asking you how you feel.
