How do you deal with aging?

I am a little younger, only 72, but have the same thoughts of less time. So if anything interests me, I dive right in. Like Dan I have stopped being concerned about saving money and more willing to spend on myself and others. We have always given freely to charity, but now are focusing on causes that align with our values, and are often too small to benefit from publicity or promotion by famous people. We are also working with 3 generations to make this a family endeavor that will hopefully outlive us. I also am embracing my role as matriarch (oldest in a large family) and building a few family traditions that will be maintainable for the next 3 generations.

Thanks so much for sharing your feelings and such great suggestions, Sue! I'm overwhelmed by how many responses I'm getting and it reassures me that I'm definitely not the only one in my general age range going through exactly what I'm experiencing. I'm copying and printing out every response and plan to actually keep the pages in a binder. These conversations are definitely less expensive than therapy! LOL!!

Sue you spend a lot of time in your garden, that’s good. Keeps the mind occupied.
