I have something to tell you! I am turning a year older on Monday. This means I am a actually a woman in my mid 50's but you know what...I don't feel my age. I feel just as strong as when I was 25. I have not gotten any illness all through the wonderful years of my life except for some common colds or cough. (Thank you Lord for your grace!) How do you feel your age? Are you now older,weaker and sickly? Do you regret those days you took your health for granted or you rejoice over the good health and good life you still do have?

Oh thank you dear! We will paint the town red on Monday for sure. Pleasant disposition matters a lot and God is my reason why I have such. Yes it's God's grace. Healthy lifestyle helps me really but I won't be able to know what healthy lifestyle really is if God did not give me the wisdom to discern. All glory and honor should be His. Thank you dear for responding, post more, be happy and be blessed.

Happy birthday coming up. I used to feel and look much younger than my years but since I had to quit work due to medical issues I feel like my body has really gained on me. I feel old, with arthritic pains comes on with no ...... And my depression really makes me feel OLD. I am now older, weaker and sickly. I had my healthy and skinny time and now I just don't care anymore. I am what I am! Sixty years worth.

Thank you! Still you feel the worth of your sixty years. That's the spirit. I hope you get over your depression. Just think of the good things you have around you. In this life there will be tribulations but always remember God is good all the time.

Depression isn't really something you get over. You just learn to live with it. I am an agnostic so I question alot about God.

Hi salonga, First of all, Birthday wishes to you in advance. May God bless you in the same way and give all happiness, good health and peace through out your whole life. It is really great to know that you are healthy and I felt the health is more important. One become unhealthy then no matter how much the person is young in age, he/she can’t enjoy the life. Our health is the really wealth, if it is good we may feel good in all ways. [i]{I got alerts in my mylot but none of my alerts opened so I don’t have any clue with the increased earning, one of my friends mailed me about this, but she said it is on Wednesday, can you please give more information] [/i]

Hi friend! Thanks for the greetings. Health is wealth so to have this up to golden age and beyond is grace and it feels really great. Actually the quaruple earnings mean you get 4 times the usual pay for every post. It was given for all posts done on on Sunday and Monday (US Standard time) and then another quaruple earning privilege was given for Thursday and Friday and Saturday earnings as well in accordance with mylot Standard time. So go and be busy and get more within the said days. Have a nice day!

Do treasure your youth for you have more years to go (by God's grace). Yes you should watch what you eat. What we eat is what we are. Fresh food is good...fresh fruits and vegetables will really keep you healthy and avoid unhealthy habits too. Thanks for responding. Have a productive day!

Well I'll certainly be trying to keep it up, it can be so hard sometimes though with all the unhealthy over processed foods out there. It's always best when you grow your own too so you know nothing has been added to it :)

Fit video... that is so smart of you! Yes keep that habit and surely you will reap the reward. We are to workout each day because if not our body will deteriorate. Stay active and be happy and above all learn to thank God for all His goodness. Thank you for your greeting, have a nice day and be blessed!

Hi you must be kidding! You don't sound like 85 Hatley! Certainly you are far, far from being senile, You are without any trace of Alzheimer disease. I agree you are clear-minded for you speak with wisdom more than many other youngsters could and that is very obvious. Arthritis has been the problem of many oldies but just keep moving and watch what you eat and you will be fine. Have a productive day. Let us all enjoy the quadruple treat!

The average lifespan in my country for women exceeds 80. If you live here, you are likely to live to 95 or more. If taken from this perspective, you are just midway. There is another 4 to 5 decades for you to pursue your dream.

I feel young in my mind, maybe younger than you. But when I am jogging or on a bike, I know that I am no more in my 20's. I am certainly weaker, but I have still a good health and I hope it will continue.

Young in mind well that is good. Because even if our body is young but our mind is not then we might just end up senile at a very young age. So you are into jogging and biking. That is good for you. Maybe there is a little loss of the usual strength but at least you are active and that is good enough to keep going. Stay healthy and fit and be happy always. Have nice day dear!

YAY!!!!! congratulations! This is one heck of a triple cool post there, girl! Proud of you, whoo hoo!. Hey, they say that 50 is the new 30 or even 20. This is what I want you to do, think of yourself Exactly of how you feel. Those of us who believe in the 'awakening', often tell people that they will feel as you do, not your age. If you feel 25, then you are 25. Post all you want if you feel so blasted happy, because you deserve it! Darn Straight! Tell yourself that you will not be 50 until 2050, it's all in the mind. It's the Awakening people, it's here and many are feeling vibrant, positive and getting their 'second wind'. Think of it this way. You are now living your 'second life'. Treat it as your second life. I actually divided my life up into 1/3's, give or take a year or two. In my last years on this planet, I intend to get my third degree and change my career again! This will be Artificial Intelligence and programming, I plan on that WAY into the future, when I am 70, I will become an expert in Artificial Intelligence. We can actually live for 120 years. Learn about juicing and antioxidants. Keep yourself as you are for as long as you can, and do not have that 50th birthday party until 2050 :D... Be blessed, and a continued long life!

Oh yeah thanks for those good words. Wow you have great plans when you turn 70! I am certain you can accomplish them by God's grace. About juicing and antioxidants....yes I am into juicing. I love all-natural. I juice fruits and vegetables and enjoy them a lot. I've been avoiding junks, processed, instant, too much sweets, too much fatty and any thing that is against healthy eating and living. I intend to live a healthy life till my last breath. That is one of my ways of thanking God for the life He gave me.
