joie de vivre

embracing old age in the spirit of joie de vivre. remember, we are only old, not dead, so live your life, enjoy it. being old doesn't mean being confined inside looking out the window and wishing for your lost youth. let the lines on your face show; those lines are witnesses to a life lived.

Nice sentiments to go with a very cool self portrait

Lovely image and advice.

you do not fit the word old at all, you take good care of yourself and always look years younger in your photos, save old age for the decrepit

I think I like it better in color

I fully agree with @kali66. You old? No way!

[Megan]

@kali66 @domenicododaro Yup. I'm on their side. You may be wise and experienced, but you can embrace your youth still too! :) Though not worrying about old age is probably what is keeping you young!
Great self portrait, perfect for the theme.

Excellent portrait and great colors! The hat and jewelry are exquisite!

Agree with Kali, Domenico and Megan :) your face screams youth, particularly in this beautiful shot! Wonderful smile and perfect joie de vivre example...
