Fortunately, I'm very healthy, and my body is still intact. It hasn't aged very much, I feel like a very young 56. I exercise regularly, and when I do, I always learn new things about my body.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
As you get older, your body doesn't hold up as much.
It's amazing what happens to your body as you get a little older.
The body doesn't recover like it does when you're younger.
As I get older, I just need to continue to make sure I'm staying in peak shape and taking care of my body the best I can.
Seriously, however, I learn a lot about my physical life in the aging and changing of my body.
I remember the moment I first became aware of aging. I was 30. I looked down at my knees, and the skin above them had become a little loose. And I thought, 'And so it begins!'
Old age is a wonderful time of life. At least, that's what everyone tells you. But let me tell you: it is not true. What's true is that your hips, knees and ankles gradually give up on you - everything is quite dreadful, really. And it was a terrible thing to have told us because we believed it.
I have aging as a disease.
I know how my body operates differently from what it did when it was 30 and when it was 20. As unhealthy as I am, I'm weirdly aware of exactly how my body functions.
I am 58. That is pretty old, for God's sake. I look pretty good for my age, and I am enjoying that.
