What’s the most difficult thing about getting older?
« on: February 06, 2018, 04:57:41 am »
I have to say aches. I heard my grandma and older people talk about aches, but I feel it sometimes.

     Keeping good looks!
     Do you know what I mean?
     Gaining weight, dealing with
     wrinkles and brown spots
     and much more!

Getting wrinkles, frown lines, crows feet, bags under the eyes and gaining weight. You get sick a whole lot easier. :(

The wrinkles and the aches. Arthritis beats me up daily. I'm sure the pain doesn't help the wrinkles either. But I'm fighting it and won't give up trying to find the fountain of youth. LOL

I would say two things: One is becoming fearful of how bad it might get and the second is becoming more alone as you retire and friends and family members are lost.

As I watch my parents age, the thing Mom complains the most about is her lack of energy and desire to do things.  She ends up sitting around a lot.

Not be able to do some of the things you would when you were younger, but you do it any way.

Realizing every day there are activities that take me longer to do and some I can no longer do.   Losing friends and family members.   Of course I would rather continue getting older and deal with the issues than the alternative.   Life goes on.

Still not knowing exactly where your life is going or what you want to devote your life to when others know.

I am not as strong as I once was. I remember running without the aches for days. I catch the flu easier.

At 74, the unsteadiness on my feet. Had a couple falls in the last few years.

Sciatic in back and knee makes me tippy at times.

Hate it..... :rose:
