This is my 61st year on this earth. I would probably be called elderly by some people. And, if I go by Lavenderblue's description, I was elderly past weekend when I casually tripped over a curb. The people I was with were not laughing, they were trying to help me up and asking me if I was okay.
However I agree with most people here that age is a matter of mind. I mind the newer aches and pains, but I have never felt as old as the numbers say.
Happy Day
Susan
