I turned 70 in January and I hear "I'm 70" just about every hour of the day. I'm also on more meds than I like and I can live with that but I am sure not crazy about the hangy dangy skin, sun damage left over from my youth, the way that I look in the mirror is depressing but what it HAS done is spurred me into making the best of my choices no matter what anyone thinks since I am so aware of the shortened time left. I have a 51 year old daughter and so I know that 70 is different and not the new 50 - she lives in a different state, my other 2 children have died, my parents are gone now, for whatever reason my sister has sort of disconnected mostly which is very confusing to me (she is 20 mo younger, now 68 and is the type to never show any downside to anything - I have no idea what is going on with her - she pulled back after Mom died in 2018), I had 2 long marriages and now am into my 3rd which is pretty great (the last died after 20 years, the first recently died - we were married for 17 years and he is the father of my children). I moved to marry this man since I had nothing left to lose; my personal belongings literally went up in flames when my condo that I kept in my home state burned completely - I kept it so that I could check in on my mother frequently. I am not wanting more stuff. I want to be happy again which I am finding challenging. Being 70 and "hearing" about it constantly doesn't help at all.
