Just wondering how you all cope with getting older. I have always felt much younger in my head than the reflection that stares back at me in the mirror although people have always said I look younger than my age. I have been blessed with reasonably good health most of my life and always seemed to have a lot of energy and been quite physically active.
Just had my 65th birthday and I don't know if it's psychological, but I am finding I am starting to have less energy to do things and a few health niggle creeping and starting to feel a little invisible. Nothing serious but just an awareness of now gradually getting older and getting a little frustrated that I can no longer do as much as I used to. Also when I look at my DH I wonder, when did we suddenly become this old?? I suddenly realised the other day that my mother had actually just died by the time she was my age which was a very sobering thought!
It seems harder to cope with life and some of you will know from another thread we have a huge decision to make about our future and whether to stay here in Oz or not. Sometimes I think the effort of trying to be in control of our own lives just seems too much at times.
I know we are very lucky in that we have a lovely family and I know others are not so fortunate but I think even they look at us as the 'oldies' now - especially DH who is often quite forgetful about things.
I've got another 'keen'... Ouch!
