Tell Me, Who Is Old

Who is “old”in your perception. I see you as old ,if you think.. Your mind is in some state of enlightened perfection! Some men lose all their hair at thirty five . So big whoop, they function and are truly alive! Old are know-it-alls! Who think the very little they know demands a clarion call. 10/23/2021 Would love to hear your perspectives of...”old” Thank you!

My mind is getting grey as my hair. I can only remember a few tasks at a time. I must take my time more than before.

Yes, Elena, this does happen. Do things you love, never stop. Being genuine comes first. Living a lifeto please others, is unhappiness. Dont ever stab another in the back. Do not post mean replies ever. Move on. Panagiota xx

I’m young in mind that is a fact, but I feel old when I stand up and can’t straighten my back… Belle

Your "TELL ME, WHO IS OLD" is a creative write. Age is only a number. Think young to stay young. Have a blessed autumn day...................

You're as old as you feel, if you start thinking old, you'll become old, that's what I believe anyway. Tom

Hello Panagiota, some people feel old. Because they tell themselves they are old. Thai is their way of thinking. Others do not. They say I feel young even though i am older I feel young. there is a difference. Hugs,

Hello Panagiota, oh yes some people do dwell on illness. Yes others with no limbs seem to be happy. I have all my life. Thank you. Hugs.

Yes..People do think differently...some dwell on illness. Others with no legs go about happy as larks. Stay young, my friend.. Panbgie 10/24 7:05pm

I'm old because I am on social security now. hahaha. So by "legal definition" I put the age at 66 (even though I see the 60's as the new "50's). However, we are truly only as old as we believe ourselves to be!! Nicey done, Pangie.

Thanks Andrea. Some of the best authors are older and steeped in wisdom. Thank you for explaining how you see it from a legal angle, as well. PS Sacramento having bad floodingGee Pangie Pangie
