When I was young, anybody over 50 was considered old

60 was very old and 70 was ancient

I can remember my 60 year old grandfather sitting in a chair drinking tea

I never saw him moving around

He just sat in a chair all day like a very old person

My views on age have changed significantly as I have matured

I cycle with guys in their 70’s and 80’s who are true athletes

They train hard and cycle over 100 miles every week

I socialize with interesting folks who travel extensively and seek adventures well into their 80’s

A few years ago I saw Fleetwood Mac in concert

Most of the long serving band members are in their 70’s but they jumped around that stage like teenagers

The massive screens showed them all to be smiling and having fun, why else would they be performing on the road after many decades

I am not a rock star but I have no desire to spend the rest of my life sitting in a chair drinking tea

Wherever you are and whatever your birth date, I wish you an active, meaningful and productive day
