@jennishuston Oh, yes! Changing fast! I can barely keep up. I was fine until my 70th birthday, then all H… broke loose. Got my first autoimmune disease. Then things started going downhill from there. But, I can still go out with my friends, take day trips, do quilting, and my dog still likes me!! My husband has been my savior-he does everything! And you’re only approaching 50! Stay in shape, go walking everyday, and just live your life as best you can!

What autoimmune disease, may I ask? I have Giant Cell Arterites (sp?).
Hate to be a “Debbie-Downer”, but wait ‘til you turn 75 yrs. old…..then your body really starts to change!
Hi Becky- Sending a hug this morning. I love that you still focus on what you can do....I am also learning that (at almost 69.) I just finished reading "Successful Aging" by Daniel Levitin. It's a great read with (my favorite part) a list of ten things to do as we age that can help. I would post them here, but I do not want to infringe on his work. (By the way, I read the book as a self-study program for my RDN, LD.) Anyone else read this book? Since that read, I have been thinking about the concept of unsuccessful aging...what does that look like? And would I want to write about that topic with a bit of humor? Guess if I was Erma Bombeck I could do it. 🙂
That's great! I wish I had a husband to help and love me, but, I've never been married. It's hard to go thru this alone. My dog passed away & he was my best friend. I have family & friends, but, its the quiet & intimate moments where I would love to have someone to share my life with. But, I'm doing well, so, I can't complain!

70 was a turning point for me too.
