I truly wish I weren't right but since I did it myself I know its our default reaction.
Jim, You're definitely NOT "old" at 57. Because if you are what does that make me? I just turned 62!
To me its life giving us the finger to get to these ages - nearly through our working years with few or sometimes NO health issues - then suddenly they arrive in bunches JUST as we may be able to enjoy all our years of labor. It just flat sucks.
Yes, I should have ALWAYS made my health more a priority but when I retire at the end of this year I am making myself into my "project". A looong daily walk before the rest of my day starts, eating less of the stuff I've always known i shouldn't eat - no, NOT an unrealistic regimen, just an effort not to slide further down age's slippery slope as fast as it'll happen if i don't.
