RE: Not Too Old to Dance

"No matter how old you get, it's a shock. You're still the same person on the outside, it just hurts to get up more."

My sister and I were yesterday, yet again, talking about how I will be 70 in just a few more months. And I was lamenting only having 3 good hours of work in me on most days. Two years ago it was 5 hours. And I was saying there's lots of farmers out there my age still working. So I looked it up. 39% of farmers are over 65. Bit younger but still. The median age of farmers is 57.5 years old, making them the oldest workforce in the country according to the Senate Committee on Aging. But I have to remember, I have 2 chronic illnesses...
