"I always thought I wanted to be in one of those old lady tap dance groups, but now it seems so pathetic..same thing with taking up ballroom or country & western dance...sounds fun, but aren't you officially old when you start doing that?"
? There are plenty of people of all ages who do those things. H and I got into ballroom dancing after watching S, 21, in a ballroom dance competition. S took it up as a freshman in college. He was obviously having so much fun that H and I decided to take lessons even though somehow S got the dancing genes in the family.
I've found it fun to follow my interests, and the older I become, the more brave I am about doing this. I literally have friends who range from 20 to 70. It's fun being like this. Age is just a number, not a sentence. I like being in activities in which people of all ages participate.
I've also found that the more I follow my interests, the younger I feel, and apparently the younger I look. I'll be 58 next month. S, 21 -- who looks his age -- has been mistaken for my boyfriend.
