Growing Old and not Senile

I have never felt my age even when I joined the group of ambassadors for active aging. The reporter called me up and spoke to me like I was from another planet but I told her "I don't feel age at all." She repeated my statement, surprised. I could not elaborate then, but now I know somehow the mind does not age with the body.

So how does one account for the pain in the knee? Whenever I sit too long and get up to walk about from my desk there would be a slight pain in the knee in the motion of getting up. It's like the joint had gone stiff and needed lubrication. The pain goes away once I begin to walk a little.

See the doctor? I think I wasted my money - $100/- for a specialist opinion and pay again for X-rays. What did I get? Painkillers and glucosamine. Pay again for medicine. Hummph, total of $250/- Could have done that over the counter at the pharmacist!

But the brain is still active.THANK GOD

The mind is still there but the body is not switched on. SECRET: movement is the switch. More on this later.

When ready I will introduce you to my website on the brain. This is also done up blogstyle
