Turning 60 today - Page 2

Happy birthday! Every changing decade is tough (I actually thought turning 30 was bad......Ha!). I'll be 68 in December, and I still have plenty of life left in me! The years are passing more quickly now, but there definitely is a comfort in aging. Yes, there are a few aches and pains, but also a lot of the other stressfull parts of life are behind me, and that's a good feeling. I really know who I am and no one can shake me anymore. Just stay active in body and mind, and you will be fine for many, many more years!

happy 60th texasmouse! it obviously doesn't feel too happy for you today, but maybe you can get out of that funk you're in by treating yourself to a decadent lunch or dinner in a restaurant you've been wanting to try, or buy yourself a gift you've been eyeing. nothing has to be over the top. simple pleasures are sometimes just the thing we need. hugs to get you through the day😊

Happy Birthday to you @Texasmouse

I remember feeling that way on a particular birthday. However, the next 10 years turned out to be some of the best. I wish for you all the best.

P.S. - our 60s are not our mother's 60s - look at Susan Lucci - she's nearly 70 and looks amazing and stays active.

Can one really look to her as an example? She's had plenty of plastic surgery to look the way she does.

Happy Birthday! I remember feeling the same way about turning 50. It seemed like turning that big 5-0 meant I truly was "middle aged" and I just didn't see myself that way. I don't mind admitting that I clung to 49 for a couple of years after that. I couldn't say 50. But I got over it and went back to accepting that age is just a number, it doens't define us. Now I'm 56 and I suspect that I'll feel the same way about turning 60...lol

This is the hardest "milestone" birthday so far. I don't feel it but somehow, all of a sudden, sixty sounds old to me.

@Texasmouse,

Strange the way you feel in comparison to myself. The older I get the younger the decade that comes next, seems much younger. The age of 80 used to seem really old to me, but now since I recently turned "Double Sevens", 80 seems much younger.

Anyhow, enjoy your day and start thinking as an optimist, it DOES make a big difference.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU,
