It's a cliche, but the older you get, the more you realize that "age really is just a number". As an older person, your health is infinitely more relevant than your age. While you tend to suffer poorer health when you get older, this really doesn't become an substantive issue until at least your late 50s (later if you keep yourself in good shape and don't get unlucky). Live life and keep on doing what you enjoy doing (as opposed to what you think you are supposed to do or what other people tell you that you should do) for as long as you are able and you will get just as much satisfaction out of life no matter what your age.
