It is easy to get into the cycle of OH I'm getting older. I rarely look in the mirror, weigh myself twice a year and take half a day at a time.
However. Age is a number. I know people younger than myself [mid-60s] who are housebound or severely physically disabled. I also know a man of over 91 who exercises daily - swims 3 times a week, walks every day unless the weather is foul, reads to children in school once a week ......... me, I could do more exercise but can find reasons not to
. He does his own housework except hoovering upstairs - a cleaner does that twice a week for him. She also shops the heavy stuff. He goes to the store every day for his paper and a chat. He is bright and cheerful. How he is at home behind closed doors may be another matter but his public persona is one of getting on.
My Mum, in her early 90s could be 'better'. But she doesn't like anyone who doesn't toe the line that she thinks they ought to do! so cuts her nose off to spite her face. If she can't 'rescue' someone, they aren't worth bothering with, including myself
.
What would you like to achieve that you feel age is holding you back against?
