Horrible Real Age Confession

Remember back in January when I took the Real Age test? At that time it gave me a real age of 26.1, a difference of 1.2 years older than my calendar age.
It’s been more than 6 months, so I figured it was time to take the test again and see how I’m doing. Bad idea! […]

You Know When You Were Born, But Do You Know How Old You Really Are?

I’ll be 25 in a month and a half, and it got me thinking about the whole concept of age. Sure, I know when I was born (March 1982, if you’re mathematically challenged, like I am), but is my body aging at the same rate the calendar tells me?

The National Institute on Aging recently conducted a study of 302 active adults over age 70 to measure their fitness levels. They discovered that any type of simple physical […]

The Physical Therapy Club

Yesterday at 10 am, my friend picked me up, and I became an official member of the Physical Therapy Club. My husband made a joke about how this must be a sign of aging. I used to go shopping or dancing with my friends in high school; now we go to physical therapy together.

Don’t Worry; Be Optimistic

You’ve heard the expression — is the glass half-empty or half-full? I’ve discovered the older I get, the more I want to be around optimistic people, who see it as half-full. Sometimes I turn to books or the internet to find people whose attitude I admire (especially since I’m a stay-home mom surrounded by […]
