You know, I've known people who were old at thirty, and others who were as vibrant as could be when they were old.<br /><br />Old, of course, is a variable. I can remember a subtraction problem a teacher gave our class once. "Figure out how old you'll be when the 21st century begins," she instructed. I was appalled to think that I'd be fifty-three. That was positively ancient.<br /><br />Keep in mind that I was living on an Air Force base. The oldest people I knew were my parents, who were older than most of the other military people. I didn't remember my grandparents very much -- hadn't seen them in four years.<br /><br />"Old" keeps getting farther along the more I age. But--still, oldness is more inside the head than anywhere else.<br /><br />So I say, hurray for people like your mom!Fran Stewarthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01230580828240178414noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-509324054948808269.post-34686296664359553072011-12-13T07:47:00.626-05:002011-12-13T07:47:00.626-05:00What an inspiration - Dr. Denmark.

And worked up until she passed at 81 years. Like she told Katie & I "age is only a number" and that's how I've lived my 63 years so far!AggiePetehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15034629030370853542noreply@blogger.com
