@maryje My wife is 78 and her body has changed but I still find her to be the most drop dead gorgeous woman I have seen. Wrinkles, lumps, dents, everything heads south, so what? She is still fabulous. And, of course, the same thing is happening to me! Aging, in my mind, beats the alternative. As far as attitude? Some people can not change. Most will not. We tend to get complacent in our misery but that doesn’t mean everyone has the ability to "brighten up!" I will say that if one wakes every morning with the Eeyore mind set of "oh bother" you’ve already set the daily tone. I suggest wakening with a loud and forceful "maybe today is the day!" Think that thought for a minute. Or two. Try that every day and maybe, hopefully, that thought remains in your mind longer and longer with time. One’s way of thinking can sometimes change. Anyone who has successfully completed military boot camp can vouch for that. ✌️

@soarus57
I will try that starting right now. Thank you

@soarus57, I agree, that's how I was able to overcome my depression and down days. It was not easy by any means. I still do that to this day. It was a choice I had to make or my life would be miserable. Someone said in a movie and I agree, " aging is not for the weak"
