what will you be doing when your 97?

When I'm 97 hopefully I'll still be here on the Internet haha. Actually, I'd like to be active still doing my daily walks and interested in life. I know so many seniors that focus on what they can't do. And every now and then I run into someone like your neighbor and truly can't believe it when they tell me their age. I worked in a retirement community and a couple of our oldest were at the 100 mark. They were so much fun! Whit

Hello there, if I could live till 97, I would do the same as your mother's neighbor does – enjoy the life; do regular exercise and make the most of daily life. If possible, I would wear the bikini sunbathing as well. Obviously, I hope I would be as lucky as that old lady financially, so that I could have enough money to spend…don’t know my pension can cover the expenses?

Hi madasp, if I want to live till 97 yr old or more from now onward I must keep myself healthy by doing regular exercise, taking proper and healthy food, and maintaining pleasant and peaceful life. I still will be active in social life and favorite games, like swimming, driving for sight seeing, playing mahjong. Of course, anyway I wouldn’t drop my mylotting.

lordy I don't think I will be sun bathing on the deck in a bikni :))) Wow She really has the secret to good living huh? I hope to be a little more laid back at 97. I want to be doting on great grand children. I do want to be active and keeping up with them... Wow all that at 97 :)))

Till then I live every moment.

if i'm still alive at 97 years old, i think i'm not so energy to do much execises, but what i can do is to feel life and nature with heart, to treasure every moment in the world.

Wow! that is amazing, truly an inspiration to us all and you are right some people in their 40s are far less active, sometimes its true 40 year olds act like 90 years old and vice versa. I hope I have half this ladies stamina at 97! Talking about living life to the full, and it just goes to show that age never matters! Age is just a number. Thanks for sharing. I have a neighbour who is 88 and still a keen gardener she has a bad leg but do you think that stops her from going out? NO! She has more go in her than me at the moment LOL

My grandmother is 97 and she is extremely active and at times I even feel that there is less generation gap between me and her and more between me and my parents. She understands evrything and there is a little child in her. She starts her day with prayers then she would go for morning walk with her friends where all of them do Yoga. Then she would come back. At times she even cooks which is always experimental and it's always fun to be with her in the kitchen at that times. In evening she again spends time with her friends. She also knits, spends time on internet and even so partying with her friends. She is just amazing. Even I want to be like her when I would turn 97 -_- I would like to have many friends, would spend time with them. I would spend more and more time with my family. I would even love to learn new things as time is moving very fast and so are we. even then I would be into things like Yoga, aerobics and every other sport you can think of, depending on my health though. In short I would spend those days doing everything I love to..
