People are living longer than our parents and grandparents did. Many are 100 years old or older! I was feeling at age at turning 72 in my hometown grocery store and the lady behind me in line was 98 years old!
You are as old as you feel. If you can still get out of bed every morning by yourself, you are blessed. In life, there are seasons of 'life', and the golden years ought to be renamed to "rust' years according to my dh.LoL! There are assisted living places before you have to enter the nursing homes. Yes, times have changed since we were young. My grandmother was born before 1900, and lived to see a man on the moon.
Don't live with regrets; you cannot go back in years and correct any thing. Rejoice every day, remember the best memories your mind can remember. If you cannot remember, make new friends every day, cause you don't remember them from before! Take each day, with a smile, laughter and love...that's what life teaches you.
Thanks for sharing. Love it.
