Life

What is life?  I know, that's too profound.   Too hard to really measure.  In my women's group, and in groups all over the world, we are getting old.   It's funny that at 58 I a the youngest, old eldest member is 85.  I was worried about having somone that much older than me in the group.  I couldn't have been more wrong.

Oh sure, she has some of the infirmities that come with age.  But she takes it all in stride.   There isn't really any other choice, but my worries were unnecessary.

We all hear harder and we Don't know what it means to be old and why it means to get older and become a grown up.

I am going to post the the Websters Dictionary definition of then l  I would like to figure out is,   who says what's old?
