BellaOnline Forums Family Senior Living Anyone in their 50's?

I know of one place that offers a senior discount at 50. Frankly, I'm embracing my senior years as they come on. Mainly for the discounts LOL

Hey girls I carry a Medicare Card now. My mind thinks I'm 15 and my body screams 105

Hey guys!

ENJOYED reading the posts - thanks SO MUCH for taking the time to respond.

And Granny, I got to keep you "locked up" at home on the family's WALKING site (lol).

On the serious side, love your pictures in your post Granny. You keep our family site ALIVE and INTERESTING and glad to see you are doing the same at the neighbor's too-SENIOR LIVING (lol).

Bottom line, you are as old as you let yourself be. My boyfriend is 56 and does not look it as he has a "bald" head (lol). The only way you can tell is when he does not shave - yep those gray hairs surface. He does have some in his goatee when he grows one.

Me, got a few in my hair and refuse to dye them. He has no problem with it, but you know those folks who just got to SAY something (lol). But they are learning, I am who I AM.....

I'm almost totally gray and proud of it. I earned every one of those hairs. I almost freaked though when my eyebrows started graying...

My eyebrows are still dark brown and so are his.

Remember, I've got 10-15 years on ya...

I may be getting older, but REFUSE to grow up.

I qualify for this thread...

Getting older is inevitable growing up is optional.

LOVE the quote, Granny. so true...

And you have to LIVE each DAY as if it is your LAST = make each day "special"..... Too many times as we "mature"(refuse to use old/lol) we forget that there are so many things we have not experienced as yet. One of my dreams is to take a trip in a helicopter. Yep, never been in one and it may be age 100 before I get to - but I am going (lol).
