I am 57, I see my fingers are starting to bend and get funny bumps. I can wave bye twice, with my hand and my baggy arm. I have funny aches that travel in my body, my hip, my knee, to my feet, you know..
My Dr. thinks I am a medical miracle as I have kept my weight down, I require no medications(yet) and my BP is perfect. And I smoke and eat my fair share of sweets.
Days do move so fast and the months and years are speeding. My DH is 67 and we both have noticed so many people around us are dying, every 3 weeks. It is starting to be unnerving... Good news is I think my husband is truly more handsome at 67 than 27, his gray/white hair actually is a good fit.
My sister is 71 and looks gorgeous. She turned 30 when I was 15, OMG! I thought she was so old!
Yes I want my energy back, i walk a little slower, and waddle a little more, my strength is not what it was, I can't even throw a decent ball. I did not realize I had a funky curve going on in my shoulders until 4-5 yrs ago, I wonder what it looks like now???
Ditter, your post is just so "spot on" last thing said: If I get to see the winter of my life, I hope I can have the class and fortitude to do it as graciously as humanly possible. JB
