The other day I heard age, and your life in general, as compared to a book of chapters … that get less racy and scinitllating and more incoherent and repetitive until you discover the last pages have been cruelly ripped out.
Jolly that, isn’t it.

I still have the body of a 30 year old, and the heart and face of a 75 year old…
I still do all the things I did when I was at my best…Just a bit slower now though…
And laughing…

I prefer to think of “how long” I’ve been around in terms of the distance I would have covered if I were travelling at the speed of light.
At the start of today , I was…

Reminds me of the old joke
My mind thinks I am 35
My sense of humour suggests I am 12
My body keeps asking if I am sure I’m not dead yet!

Last year. I could fob myself of by. Reversing.
Its only a number. To 78.
This year that magic doesn’t work. 
The adage that “The Good die Young”. Has been my experience.
With so many, easily recalled, wonderful younger friends and acquaintances, that have passed over the bar.
With the converse applied. ‘Could be deemed Sinister’.
Solution.
The adage that. “A Laff a Day”.
Keeps ‘More Than’. “The Doc Away”.
Yes. Its Only a Number.

Enjoy whilst you can. Can the dross.

You’re only as old as you feel.
I’m 72. But I don’t feel a day over 90.
