Today is your day Boomer! Do you, as a Boomer, believe this statement? "Baby boomers are redefining what aging is and what old age looks like,” said Jennifer Ailshire, assistant professor at the Leonard Davis School of Gerontology at the University of Southern California. She has a long academic title, but I think her words make sense. 65 used to be considered "old", but no longer. In fact, another researcher says "In most cases, people say they feel about 20% younger than they really are, according to a recent Michigan State study of more than 500,000 people. 'This keeps ramping up as folks age; beginning at age 50, many say they feel about 10 years younger.'" Wow, this means I am really 55 and ready to take-on the world! Not....especially after a long round of golf in the hot sun or three sets of tennis against high-level players. I easily feel 65 or older and must hit the hot tub and pain killers. Ahh, life....we can't really change our age number can we Boomers? But...we can change our attitude. And that's what matters most. Cheers!
