18. Aw, my dear Nictuku! You're not a senior yet! But you can still post here.

You can be an Honorary Senior!

I don't really feel like one either, even though I'm (gasp) 76 years old! But I am. I'm still enjoying my life and doing things I want to do within certain parameters.

Every now and then I say to myself: It's not the years, it's the mileage. I really see the truth in that.

So, be who you are, and enjoy the ride! All we have is right now.

Remember, at 59, you probably have several decades ahead of you. Enjoy them!

And thanks for asking!
