(54,448 posts)But now, I'm 70, and my wife turns 70 next month. I look it. As for her, she looks about 20 or more years younger. I don't touch my hair. She peps hers up a bit to give it more of its original blonde look. But if there's a geriatric ward in our future, it'll come as a nasty sudden surprise, not because of gradual deterioration between 64 and 70.
Like the song goes, we're still having fun, and she's still the one. Don't let the number weigh upon your shoulders. When my wife was 64, she was at one her doctors, getting a checkup, and the receptionist called her back, saying she had made a mistake on her date of birth. She said that never happens, but what mistake was that? The receptionist said for the year she filled in to be correct, she'd have to be SIXTY-FOUR years old!!!! As if she were talking about someone decades older. My wife said, "I AM 64!!" The receptionist just stared and said, "wow..." It's how you act, and take care of yourself. If you THINK 46, you have a better chance of making others believe it, too.
