Yes our minds stay young. It's a great thing because it allows us to keep enjoying life. Our minds keep learning and seeing new things. The saying that an old dog can't learn new tricks is not applicable to us humans. At 70 you have seen a lot of things and I'm sure you can probably say time flies by. Im behind you exactly 20 years born in 1973. Happy 70!! I await in November for 50. Yes live in the moment is the best way to look at it.
You will see how time seems to fly faster, the older you become.
And, whereas I thought 70 was ancient when I was 40, it certainly doesn't feel that way!
One of my best friends that I've known for nearly 20 years, is just a year behind you. Despite the large age gap, we have so much in common. Life is an adventure for sure.
I hope you're going to have a big bash, my 50th was the best birthday celebration, although I must say the 70th was just as much fun, only a smaller gathering.
Thanks for the good wishes @coolmidwestguy
I have older and younger friends. Age is nothing but a number when it comes to connecting to others we have lots in common with :)
