She said she felt like she was 28 years old and I wondered how that was possible when I feel only 24--that makes her older than me! Then I decided to call my ever-youthful aunt to ask her how old she feels. She's in her 70s, now, but has always remained so young, happy, and playful. She giggled when I asked her how old she felt. She responded that she feels like she's in her 40s. She looks like she's in her 40s, too (but she's over 70 years old). We talked about it for a while and she said she thinks that we mentally stay at the age we were when we became truly independent and ourselves. For her, it was around the time of her divorce, I suppose. For me, it was when I was finished with college and deciding what I wanted to do with my life. Do you feel a certain age, Carlos? I'm definitely living my life filled with as much health and happiness as possible. That's what my aunt did and she's a true inspiration for me. I'm taking it a step further by living as a raw foodist (going on about two years, now), hoping to have even greater health and vitality in my 70s and beyond! Lots of love to you, Wendi XOXOXO You certainly don’t look 50 in your photos. ;-)

I've been feeling every imperfection in my body and mind since I turned fifty. And I've been trying to address everyone since, but the older you get the harder it is to turn back the hands of time. My beer belly is the perfect metaphor for staying in shape while you can. :( I feel ya’. I’ve been feeling every imperfection in my body and mind since I turned fifty.
