And when I look at my mother, I reflect on her strength and endurance. She's cranky sometimes, but she is lovable and loving. I'd be happy to be there at 86.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I really feel better about aging at the age of 86 than I did at 70.
I'm in no hurry to get old. But when I do, I'll be out to enjoy every last minute. I see myself at 90 in some nursing home, waving my walking stick about as I jive to Gene Vincent records.
My mom is in her mid-60s and has more energy and is more youthful than any human being I know. It's pretty incredible.
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.
And now, I feel at 85, I really feel that I'm just ready to start.
I'd be happy to live till 80 as long as I was comfortable and in good health. Mind you, ask me again on the eve of my 80th birthday. Even so, I hope we don't all start living to be 120. I'm not sure I'd cope with another 60 years.
I love getting older! I really believe that a woman doesn't reach her peak until her 40s.
I don't know how to deal with being 80.
I've had an amazing professional life, personal life, but at 64 to have a son who gives us that much love and enjoyment is, wow!
Please know that being 80 is not a scary thing. When you're 80, your life is much freer.
