Philosophy

The more I try to grasp the concept of being 60 years old, the more the whole idea eludes me. What exactly does 60 mean? I don't feel 60. I don't know what it means to feel 60. In my head, I don't feel any older than I did when I was 40. I want to feel this way as long as I live. The only answer I can find is exercise. You see getting older is mandatory. Getting feeble is optional.

Soon I will reach the age of 60. That is, if I make it till January 2nd. Sixty used to be the beginning of old age. Now, I don't think so. Inside, I feel ageless. What is age anyway? I guess it's just a way of measuring one's physical existance. My body is aging, but my spirit is ageless. The meaning of aging for me is that I am realizing how much I need to let go of pre-conceived ideas and open myself to possibilities. I look to 60 as a new opportunity to look, listen, and learn. With wonder in my heart, I approach the new year.
