Looking at 70 from 49, I don't see it slowing me down. Maybe I'll need a nap during the day! I'm thinking when I'm 85 I'll settle down a bit. But I'm going to fight, kicking and screaming, every step of the way.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I'm approaching 70. Unfortunately, from the wrong direction.
I'm the oldest 26-year-old I know. A lot of experience has been crammed into a short amount of time. Some days I feel a good 65, 70. Like I want to lie down.
I really feel better about aging at the age of 86 than I did at 70.
I'm one year away from 70 and I've had a good run. I really believe I'm okay.
I'm not afraid of turning 80 and I have lots of things to do. I don't have time for dying.
I'm 86 and my doctor used to tell me to slow down - at least he did until he dropped dead.
Sadly, I can't avoid being 75. Like many people of my age, we are all heading towards the grim reaper, and I am clinging on. I just to have to sharpen my fingernails a little so that I can hang on for longer!
I guess maybe when you get past 70, other people start asking you how you feel.
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!
And now, I feel at 85, I really feel that I'm just ready to start.
