Hello all not sure where to start really.
Suddenly I'm just so old! Feel I should be happy. Retired have enough money own house and 2 lovely grandchildren and holiday coming up soon. Yet feel bereft. I have lost 2 really close friends and my mother in the last few years and my health is not great with heart condition and severe osteoarthritis. I should have so much to be grateful for but I'm just not feeling it. It feels like a downward slope now. Not sure what I'm looking for but thanks to anyone who has read to the end of my waffling!

With you all the way .. it stinks!

I have been to so many funerals in the last couple of years, and recognise in myself a slowing down, both mental and physical - and I am in constant pain. This morning I really had to wrack my brains when needing to quote my car reg number!

There was a cartoon on facebook the other day which said: "I woke up with no pain and thought I must be dead." Indeed!

Sort of obvious that Honey 1958 is a 58er like me it was a great year, we share it with Madonna and let's face it she has had one or two falls on stage I guess the old knees went or similar.

Ladies we are wise women we must say tiddles to mortality and use the years we have left to make the most of what we have, maybe wear purple, smile, drink gin. This ladies are the years of our last hurrah let's go out there and do it.
