Win a luxury cabin break for four

I'm 68 and loving it, my husband and I dance 3/4 times a week and we go to the gym 3/4 times. We even do spinning! The only down side is that when we get bugs and colds they take twice as long to get over, however every once in a while it gives us chance to stay home and chill!

Aware that time is running out to do the things I want to do, but realise that I can prioritise my time with my kids with a new kind of wisdom.

There are things I like about getting older, mainly free time and being able to have the confidence to choose what to do. I don't like my body feeling older - lack of energy, achey joints etc. My body is aging faster than my mind which I find disturbing!

It's always nice to look back to the teens or twenties, but in reality when watching programmes on television of the sixties or seventies, like life on Mars, Ashes to Ashes, or even Heartbeat, I am so glad that I don't have to go through that time again. I am very thankful for the knowledge, experience and modern technology which is available to me now enriching my life.

I hate being invisible to the 'fashion police'! My mother used to say to me when I was younger "I don't want to dress like you but I don't want to dress like your grandma!" and now I know what she means!

I do try and look at getting older in a positive rather than negative way. I do admit though that I felt "different" in some way when I turned 60 in 2012. I could not put my finger on it but felt that people treated me differently somehow as if I had literally aged overnight! Not impressed!

I feel more content now and love to be surrounded by family and friends and looking forward to whatever the future holds for me. I am carer for my husband who has several health issues but we get through hard times together and stay as positive and as strong as we can.

I try and stay healthy and watch my weight, which does tend to fluctuate, but on the whole, life is very good and long may it last.

My brain can't understand and thinks i can still do anything and i mean anything! Have you seen those snowboarders at the winter olympics?

I do wish that other people didn't talk to me as if I had just landed from the planet Dweeb.
eg 'DO YOU USE EMAIL?' in a slow loud voice

I much prefer getting older to the alternative.
I d

Now it takes me all day to do what I used to do all day.
My husband has a version of this phrase involving the night!

I enjoy getting older, as there is nothing I can do about it, I just go with the flow. I just wish my inside 16 year old would grow up.

After having 2 brain haemorrhages and a massive stroke 8 years ago I embrace life and want as many birthdays that I can possibly have.
life is precious and old age a blessing.

Getting older - well it's a great excuse to use to avoid doing the stuff you don't want to do and to only do the stuff you want to do- genius!

when I do something silly I think why?. Then I look in the mirror and then I know why. (sad)

Being old is just like being young -but slower

the advantage of being older is that when you look in the mirror and get a bit upset - it doesn't last long as you forget it really quickly - just like everything else!

54 years young. Don't stop me now, I'm having such a good time!

i am not bothered about getting older as long as i can stay healthy. I have become involved in a lot of voluntary work, after i left my last job after a period of ill-health and enjoy meeting new friends in the various activities i am currently enjoying. After all, they do say that age is just a number {smile}

Reaching old age is a privilege that is denied to so many. So revel in it and enjoy it to the full.

I like being older except for all the medical issues that seem to occur!

Age is nothing more than a number, everyone ages at a different rate, so forget the number.

I am happier, wiser, more body confident and I know myself better than 20years ago.

As a veterinary nurse, I have decided I am ageing like a Jack Russell Terrier, while those around me can age like large breeds.

As I get older, I notice more young women smile at me! Rarely happened when I was young!

Its not about counting the years that matters its what you do with them which counts

Old, who's old?!

I have heard said that the most serious illness of old age is hardening of the attitudes!
