Intrigued by the title but found no comments here to comment upon, so will start my own. As one of the boomers approaching the 60 mark, I have decided that I am not going to grow old. I will age, but not get old. Old is a state of mind, a socially imposed role that we are expected to follow at each stage of our life. For that purpose I have decided to live my life opposing the stereotypes and cliches. How to do that? Don't act like you are 60. Instead act like you are 20 or 40 or 10, whatever srikes your fancy at the moment. And believe it. And it works. I don't feel 60 at all, though some days I do feel 90!! When I am most defiant, I get out my T shirt that reads, "I'm not only pushing 60, I'm kicking its butt!"
