Please Share 3 Things You Appreciate about Being Old

Hi! Happy Thanksgiving! I am 81 and some of my favorite things about aging are:
1. Not worrying about being judged for what I'm wearing, or is my hair done, or am I slightly overweight, or if I have makeup on. (Never wear it anymore!)
2. Not feeling guilty if I'm not being "productive". I can just sit around and do nothing if I like.
3. Eyesight and hearing may be going, but I believe God did this for us as we age, so we don't see all the wrinkles on our faces, or the dusty furniture. We can also take out those hearing aids and escape into blissful silence when we want. đ

@binw I love this so much. My eyesight is much more â soft focusedâ than it was and it definitely makes looking in the mirror easier lol ( not that I do so much of that these days) I only wear my glasses for reading!

Yes, itâs great that taking out the hearing aids solves the problem of staying awake and listening to the neighborâs party.
Also number 2 on my list: I like my bright white hair much better than I ever liked my mousy brown hair.
And number 3. At 83 I can refuse to eat some vegetables I donât like (kale) because itâs âgood for meâ.
