We go on outings on the weekends, vacation together, and enjoy birthdays and holidays with all the joys little kids bring with them. I am too busy to feel sorry for myself, or, feel lonely.

You sound like a great man! I will be 80 this DECEMBER.

[@lauralanebender9035]

I’ll be 84 in ten days. I take strength training classes twice weekly; do a 3,000 yard swim workout 3 times/week; and cycle (people-powered) 20-30 miles at least 3 times/week. I go to our internist twice/year and take only BP med. My physician says my husband and I are her Poster Children (or Poster Old People). I feel about 30 years old and am so thankful for my agility, ability to be active, and excellent health. Both parents lived to 98. People age differently and my hubs and I are truly blessed.

[@fayjdurrant5293]

I will be 88 Dec.2nd. I play golf and shoot under my age every time. I sell various products via phone, email, text etc. I am a full time care giver for my wife who cannot walk. I cook, go to grocery store, bath her and help her dress each day. We are together 95% of the time and been married 51 years. We have been blessed and are so thankful and appreciative. We have a wonderful supportive family who helps me with wife when needed. We are able to have a house keeper that also washes clothes and irons. Life is wonderful and we have the finances to carry us to the next adventure................Great video. Thank you for helping me realize again just how blessed my life has been and still is.

I once worked at Jerry Barber's golf club manufacturing company in Burbank, California. He was a very nice man to have worked for. I still have a "Golden Touch" 2 iron as a memento. My job was to adjust the loft and lie on new and customer golf club irons to specific angles using a rubber mallet and table-sized protractor. I was age 19 and thought it was the most boring work on earth. Happy "88" when it arrives! If you call, email or text me I'd have to share my "I'm broke as a joke" secret, so don't maybe. I think you're a human-hero for being a caregiver to your wife who can't walk. Married for 55 years is remarkable, so I'm remarking! That you both have wonderful family is a sweet blessing not all have. So don't even have a doggy or a goldfish. Tranquil contentment is what I find keeps you young at heart. "Age can never hope to win while your heart is young" I received a fortune cookie back in 1994 that says that, and I got it right in front of me here where I can see it. Life... it's all in how you see things, recall things and what emotion you glue onto. Fell sad? No. Feel Happy! Think of a time you did somethin g that made you very, very happy and honor the memory of the experience so it lives on and on! Look at vintage happy pictures, if you have them, as often as you can until your mind soaks them up like a dry sponge soaks up water. Be yourself and not what the world of individuals or groups would have you be. Maine says to say "hello".

Hello, I,m 76 years old. I,m still working as a BRIDGES AND BUILDINGS electrician. I work for a commuter rail transit system. I,ve been a licensed electrician since 1972. I,m proud of my work especially after a night's work of trouble tracing, such as railroad draw bridges malfunctioning. I,m new to this assignment and have a lot to learn, because of computer driven controls. I also have a deep love for railroad transit. I also take advantage of the perks riding free inter-moding with pedal bike on board. Hence, I ride pedal bike everyday two and a half miles one way. Even in winter. I equip the pedal bike with studded tires. .. Riding bicycle is another rulling passion in my life. I,ve been commuting to work on a pedal bike since 1994. However, I do have my medical issues pertaining to joint replacement. In January I have to have my right hip replaced. Also eventually both knees need to be replaced. I more or less bite the bullet, and take some alive to manage pain, I still tak3 care of my self and feed my self with whole grain vegetarian diet. Also practice Transcendtal meditation, and say prayers to God every day. It's fulfillment. Also physical fulfillment bike riding inspire of joint pains. WORKING IN A RAILROAD ENVIRONMENT, CAN BE UNFORGIVING WITH ACCIDENTS. ESPECIALLY WITHIN THE FOUR FOOT RULE OF LIVE TRACKS. ALSO GOING INTO HIGHVOLTAGE SUBSTATIONS. I DO MY DAILY SAFETY BRIEFINGS DOCUMMENTED. I WEAR MY PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT ESPECIALLY GOING INTO HIGH VOLTAGE SUB STATIONS. Hence it is a required constant state of alertness. Yes, as a gay woman, I do have my companions. However I live alone because of my hobbies of modifying and doing specialty welding of stainless steel onto my old classic vehicles from the 1970s and 1980s, done in areas where it rusted out. That is another area that keeps me happy. I hope God can let me live to 120 years. There is a lot I have to fulfill. And yes I own my own home, with my creature comfort attached garage I consider the best room of my house...........

I no longer hunt or fish but do continue collecting glass insulators. Something I have done since I was 15 years old. We traveled to Germany two years ago to visit our second family which was most rewarding. We have since took on two Bassett hound puppies that immediately stole our hearts and became part of the family. Daily walks are a must and cuddling in the evening is good too. Been married for 47 years and we are both in all good health. Our son is grown and successful in his own right along with his gal pal who is also successful in the medical field.
