My questions are primarily aimed at those that are over 60 years of age , but of course all comments would be most welcome.
Ive recently had my 74th birthday and I’m surrounded by a loving family and in general good health and although I seem to get easily get stressed out , I try to stay as positive as I can . But now I’m constantly finding my self getting all worked up when ever I start think about my age .
I know to some reaching the age of 74 is a bonus and some thing to be proud of , but personally I just can’t seem to stop worrying about the fact that I’m now on the downward slope of life and my time is running out .
So there you are your in the later stages of your life and trying to enjoy what time you may have left before the grim reaper comes knocking at your door , you are no doubt trying to stay as healthy as possible may be watching your diet and keeping physically active.
But what I would like to know is how are you mentally dealing with and coming to terms in the knowledge that you time on earth is slowly coming to the end , maybe some of your friends who you grew up with have already passed away and its now playing on your mind.
So what are you doing to try and stay mentally positive as the years seem to be shooting by and in all likelihood your body is starting to show the signs of your age.
Gone is that once magnificent hair , your past youthful tight facial skin has been replaced with sagging and drooping jowls . Your hands are becoming covered with ominous brown liver spots and you seem to be walking more slowly and arthritis may have become your constant companion . The aging signs are all there .
You are getting old and the little voice living inside your head keeps reminding you that its all down hill from now on and add to that you now seem to be getting bitter and angry at the drop of a hat
How are you combating that little voice in side your head that keeps announcing that your sands of time are running out , what getting old curse antidote have you found and you can share that makes you stay positive even when your looking in the bathroom mirror and only see a wrinkly old man man staring back at you. What are you doing to try and keep upbeat about getting old.
So if your like me and heading down the slope of life towards the big unknown , what words of wisdom , comfort or advice could you offer that will make me feel more positive and happy about being 74 years old .
