Noooo!!!. A few years ago I decided to absolutely refuse to conform to the stereotypes of ageing and "go gentle into that goodnight.". I started going to the gym again on a regular basis, took up yoga and pilates. I refuse to grow a beard and when my hair started to thin I shaved it all off. I use moisturiser. Instead of baggy, 'comfortable' clothes I prefer skinny jeans and muscle t-shirts to show off the latest ink. I'd really like to buy a Harley Davidson but I've never ridden a motorbike and I'm scared stiff of them, so that might be a no-no. It probably stems from seeing my dad die of a stroke and my brother go into long-term care with Parkinson's and dementia in his mid-70s but it's hugely enjoyable and there are a lot of people who have the same idea.
