Just read your post, heck honey, I'm almost 57 and I'm just gettin warmed up. I have a grandmother 101 and I think I can beat her score.lol

It is at times hard not to focus on age or longevity and what one has accomplished, but try to look forward and see what you can accomplish. Honey, if you can't change it, ain't no use worryin about it. The grass is going to stay green no matter how much one would wish it another color.
This is actually my philosophy on aging:

I was young, did things the young do, called foolish and was reprimanded
I aged some, matured, and was wary of being called foolish or reprimanded
I now realize as I age, there is no one to reprimand, or call me foolish...I have reached the age where its ok to do somewhat foolish things and actually get away with it. So live life, have fun, take a second look, your life is not half over, it just beginning a new season!!!

Yeah, I know depression can make it seem like we've lived two hundred years in one year.
