I’m now 64. Soon to be 65. I’m writing from my soul so please be kind if I’m not the best writer. I’ve never written a thing for anyone to read but me. Honest to God I’m sure there are 3 “21 year olds” in me. I’ve never written a blog.. ever, so please bear with me as I learn. This is the life of a mature woman over 60:
I’ve seen my face way too many times and still I was shocked to see the jowls, wrinkles, hair that grows from my face and I wondered where my old self went. My belly has abandoned me, my arms have wings (which I discovered by accident as I was riding in my daughter’s car and had my arm out the window.. ‘where the heck did those come from?’ I asked her. “Oh mom they’ve been there.” I couldn’t believe I grew those without knowing about them). And my hair… my hair is thin and I do everything on Gods green earth to make it look like there’s something there, and it’s ALL completely gray. Honestly I don’t mind the gray as I’ve earned every single hair… that I have left.
The name threw me because in my mind I was retired but not over the hill. Well this is a place for the “over the hill gang.” I seem to be one of the only residents who are standing upright without a cane, walker or wheelchair.
These are some of the nicest people I’ve ever met but good grief 3 people have ‘passed’ in my short 2 months here. My plans are to buy a home and start living again.
I love ‘hacks’, DIY stuff, brain exercises, all the stuff I just listed above and above all I am a person who wants to live a full life. My passions are God, family and living until I’m over 100.
Any ideas would be welcome but I truly think I will age prematurely if I stay here for an extended amount of time. Exercise here involves getting out to walk around the building or the lovely ‘chair exercises.’ I should have done more research before moving in here.
I don’t know the first thing about a blog or what it even is. I love the fact that I’m older and understand that I’m slowing down a bit. Growing older is wonderful. I’m alive with a slew of illnesses (which age you I guess) but I have family.. and God. I’m so blessed.
It was nice to write down what I’m thinking.
