Among Friends

[Hooty]

About the only thing that makes me feel good at 68 yrs. old, is that I have been married to my DH for 33 yrs,  he is my best friend and we are still in love!  I'd be lost without him!

I feel good in knowing that at my age, I finally realized that I am good enough just the way I am!  I never had any confidence or self esteem, never felt I had any positive qualities.  Now, I know that I am just fine the way I am.  There will always be people who are smarter, better looking, have a better figure, more money, better education,etc., but accepting who you are and appreciating all the good qualities you possess --- I'm finally at that point!  Granted, I still don't have a lot of confidence and have a hard time accepting compliments, but nevertheless, I know that I'm a good person.  I genuinely care for others and try to not be judgmental or harsh.  Self-acceptance!  I know that comparing yourself to others is a recipe for disaster.  My level of success will be different from your level of success.

@SeaMaiden We all think of these things and it is so good to hear others' points of view! Thank you!

I feel good about:

Not looking or feeling my age.

Being married to my darling for 38 years

Keeping a beautiful home that gives me great pleasure everyday

Having lifelong friends that love me

Being positive and trying to find the good in life

The dogs and cats that I have had for the last 25 years

Finally be able to say NO and meaning it......

That I'm not old enough to answer!

I'm 63 and what makes me feel good:

I'm in good health, wonderful husband, married 40 years this May, 2 terrific children, out on their own & good friends and at the end of the day, a good glass of wine!!!!

I’m not yet 60, but sure have enjoyed reading this thread. It’s given me a lot to think about. 😊

I am just now reading your comment to me (3rd post after original post)

I am sure that I had what some would consider a “normal” childhood. From the outside mine looked like a gum commercial...I was told by a good friend.

”Who wants gum?” All in family raised their hands.

”I do, I do!”

In their later years, after I left, dysfunctions surfaced.

That I treat others with respect as I want to be treated. I am kind, have empathy and consideration of others. It all comes back to you. Also I do have a strong faith that I show with my actions. I normally don’t share myself but thought it was a great discussion.
