But my aching back and feet, decreased stamina and the mirror tell me otherwise. I am still shocked but very grateful when someone younger offers to carry something heavy for me. To heck with agism and feminism...I always give them a big smile and thank you,. I am rapidly approaching 70 and so far am looking forward to it. I am always curious what comes after milestones.
