Another thread about aging

Take her parking and well you know, teenage style. That'll make you both feel young. Don't tell me, you already do that regularly don't you, you old dog!

 

That's great! I'm 60 and while I can't deny or ignore certain aches and pains I'm actually feeling pretty good about where I am at this phase of life. It's taken me a long time to get to where I am in life...lot's of hard lesson's learned...but I have no desire to go back or to pretend to go back.

Know what I like about getting older? I've noticed how certain vanities are long gone and I find that very liberating. I mean, I try to take care of myself (5'10" at 180 pounds) but I'm not out to try and impress anyone and if no one notices me that's fine. I just go about my way feeling very content.

It's a nice feeling.

 

I'll level with you here with total honesty. When you say being free is awesome....I've been alone (and I DO mean alone) since my divorce 20 years ago. But I'm not lonely in anyway, nor do I crave "anything" from anybody. I love what freedom I have and still can't think of one reason why I'd want to give that away. Not one. So yeah, I call it freedom.

It's not for everybody, and I don't hate anybody or anything. But we all find our own way in time.

Happy birthday in advance!!

 

Sounds like you have a good bead on things, Slo.

When I go, I want to go quietly in my sleep, like grandpa.
Not screaming and yelling like the passengers in his car.

 

Another year cast unto the wayside
Another day thats gone to spoil
Another hour delays my duties
The minutes my earth to toil
