I work in a shop composed of seniors. A bunch of these ladies (and 2 men) are in their 80's. I am in awe of these old folks. I joke that I want to be them when I grow up (I'm 66!). Even the ones who have some mobility issues are still doing so much. One lady not only goes to the Y for swimming 4 times a week, she is in a quilt guild, helps at a quilt class and works full days (rather than just the 4 hour shift) with me at the shop. This summer she decided to jump in her car and drive to see her grandkids - 1,000 miles to the north! Being old just means you are still living, I think being elderly is just some name other folks might call you, it does not need to define you or stifle what you do.
