“Don’t let ‘old’ become your identity.” *

How many of us would even imagine pursuing a “dream job” at 91?
How many of us think we’ll be alive and functioning at that age?
How do we picture ‘old’?
At what age does ‘old’ begin?
Is ‘old’ all about a number?
“Old” is certainly not my identity. Neither is “old” the identity of most of the people I know who are in their 60s, 70s, and 80s.
Most of those “old” people in my life are driving, dancing, traveling, teaching, painting, mowing their yards, using their smartphones, and have Facebook accounts. These are vibrant people who are active, in touch with the present, and busy pursuing their interests.
Is there a difference between pursing those interests at 91 instead of 21?
