I am 75. My BIL turned 76 this year and said "Now they can't say I died too young".
Looking out I don't feel I am older but the mirror says different. I so see my Mom. Went to a funeral of a family friend, 99, and one of the ladies said "I knew that was you, you lookblike your mother". Yes, have my aches and pains but glad I am still here.
My MIL and I went to visit her SIL, husbands Aunt, who was about 90. My MIL said "Fran, I am 80 years old today" Fran said "Oh to be 80 again, I could do so much more then". I had to laugh and told her I think she would have wanted to be younger still.
Sometimes I feel the same way too. It is not always how I feel about my age, but it is the way others sometimes treat me that makes me think "Wow, I guess I am sort of old."
I believe however, there is still more to do in your life.
Your worth is not in how others see you or treat you.
Regardless of how others treat me, I practice a supportive mindset daily. I am careful of the thoughts I let roam around my head about myself. I do believe as long as I feel physically feel well, and am in decent health overall, I am non-stoppable. I can do whatever I want. How liberating.
When I turned sixty two and was forced into retirement, I never thought about being old until people started pointing out that I was old. When I applied for Medicare, I couldn't make up my mind if I wanted to be old or not. I sat around in my pajamas all day for about a year watching the pandemic news and who died. I need a new chair now since its got lumps in it now from me sitting in it for so long trying to make up my mind if I want to be old or not. I did not know how to navigate old since nobody told me about it. I had already gone through the preliminaries such as menopause, but at 55 years old, I still had some sparks in me.
I turned 67 years old this past September, and boy, do my knees and back ache. LOL
Oh God, on my 60th I was upset. On my 70th, I cried a week. But in reality, I look great for my age and after loosing my dearest to cancer, I'm not sure why I'm still here....but I do have some things I want to do!
I just turned 67 and I’m looking forward to a few more years as long as I’m healthy and can still dig in the dirt. But thank you for the offer Allyoops! Sorry I can’t help you out!
I believe that each year that the Good Lord gives us is a gift and is to be celebrated. I actually just got home from celebrating a friends 75th birthday this evening, and there was much laughter and joy all around, just the way it should be.
Not necessarily, IMO. . .it can depend at least partially on the "old-age thing" along with one's physical and mental condition. There are days when I would not object to making my Final Exit but, so far, the remaining O.K. days have prevailed. This, as I (and my body!) anticipate turning 88 the first week in January.
