Amen to that.

I watched my father, uncle, grandfather, and now my younger brother grow old and go downhill quickly. I climb mountains and keep myself busy constantly with physical chores. I feel wonderful at age 62, the same age my father had his quadruple bypass heart surgery and started his long decline. I refuse to follow that path.

Sorry for the rant. Your comment struck a chord with me.

Indeed. I turn 60 this year and I don't think I've been fitter or healthier in my life. Moving to the country was the best thing we ever did and the physical work that I get up to keeps me fit. My blog writing and other things keeps my brain fit as well, which I think it even more important.
