@brownidgurl,
I have only one suggestion for you; don't ever say you are old. Nobody can control our biological age, but thinking old can be bad both physically and mentally.
Think young. I'm 80 years old, and still think I can do stuff when I was a young man. The only difference now is that I don't do maintenance around the house which I use to love to do. I don't climb ladders.
My wife knows my limits better than I do, so I listen to her.
I also know that my memory isn't what it used to be.
Getting old is not for sessies.
