Your body is slowing breaking down. Your responsibilities only go keep going up as you age. Overall, things get harder.

    There are plenty of very happy old people. I’ve watched my parents flourish as they age. My great uncle always talked about making the last year’s of your life the best years of your life. I don’t know if they were for him, but he was still dancing until the cancer took him last year at 94. Yeah we all fall apart and die, but you’re best days can easily be in your 70s or later.

      Every new decade is my favorite, but the shoulder and knee issues suck.

      Tips from an old person-

      When they tell you that you need reading glasses, just go for the contacts.

      Podiatrists are real and a $75 orthotic is worth it.

      Adult children are awesome, mostly.

      Sunscreen is important.
