AGING? - Page 3

@Shanus, you got it! I hear you about the memory thing.

I am old and happy and proud to be old. I am NOT A SENIOR. I am not in school, I am just old. I don't know why people have a problem with that.

I find it very insulting to be called a senior. I graduated high school and college a long time ago. I am not in school, I am O L D.

Aging? OMG. I hate it! Glad you all are very well adjusted individuals. I guess I am not. I love living and am so glad to still be here. I try not to think about the age thing as it scares the you know what out of me. I hate that I don't have the energy, stamina, or health that I used to. I know there's nothing that can be done about and I just have to accept it. I don't like that the person I see in the mirror is that older lady --- not me! Ha. Still, I am blessed to look as good as I do and I am blessed that I have DH! That's the most important thing! Perseverence (did I spell that right?) --- is the key. Never give up!!!!!

Oh @AngelPuppy1. Need to change your thinking, if you can. I do almost everything I used to, just a little slower. Aging is inevitable and much better than the alternative, right?

@BirkiLady I just turned 69 and for some reason I just don't want to jump that line over to 70 next year. Oh well, I guess I have no choice. I have several neighbors in their mid to late 80's who get along just fine so I don't know why it's bothering me so much.

Yes, I am OLD... and proud of it! Proud that I am healthy, active and blessed everyday!

IMO seniors are not appreciated because we glorify youth and do everything we can to maintain that appearance. Being healthy is a given, everyone would prefer to be vibrant and healthy at any age. The body ages period, as a senior I accept that and try to do what I can to minimize the effects.

I am 71 years old and feel very blessed to have lived to be this age. I am enjoying the journey thanking God for his many blessings each day. In the Bible it says for us to number our days (Psalm: 90:12). Only one life twill soon be past only what done for Christ will last.

I think if you will re-read my post you will see that I do not need to change my thinking! Not everyone feels or reacts the same to things in life. I know that aging is a natural progression in life. But it does not mean that I have to, or will, feel happy that I have ill health and that growing older is not an easy process. I have written that I am glad to be alive and I am persevering.
