Do you think that you're aging gracefully?

[kayakjohnny]

And if you're not that old, do you think you're the type to age gracefully?

I realize that this is subjective and includes a lot of things.

I happen to think that most people are not. And I wonder if I might become one of them.

For now I'm doing OK at 53, but not always sure how long I can keep up the game. I can run and jump and play and I have good health and a good attitude.

I count my blessings every single day.

But I think of the downgrading that happens with age. I would hate to be a burden to my loved ones or friends.

And I would certainly hate to be a bastard like so many people are when things go south. I see so many people not dealing with the process very well at all.

Just wondering what you all think.
