Tell us more about the ongoing battle of your mirror versus brain.
What a good way to get everyone's attention.

Hello there, always nice to say Welcome to a new member. Before you know it you will just be one of the old gang. Waving at you from Canada 
Aunt Bea's post says it all.
I was a very physical person and loved being in my body doing all that could be done. I surfed, swam in the ocean for hours, played many sports and was always active physically in my work. The problem I have with my brain is it doesn't agree with the mirror and I end up paying the price. Like the other day, my daughter asked me to pick up a tree at the nursery. No problem, until I unloaded it from my truck and was reminded by my body that it was a bad idea. Nothing bad, just some sore muscles a couple of Bufferin took care of. Point being, I still don't always think like what my body is. Just part of the fun of growing old.

Just noticed your title here. Any significance to it?
And welcome, you have gotten off to a good start posting!
Yes, and my way to manage this problem is to say, "I look just the way a grandma is supposed to look." I love being a grandma so I am glad to look like one.
No battle here. That sounds like the least of my worries.
I thinks it's a battle being waged by all that are growing older. Sometimes the mind doesn't remind the body in time by saying "Don't do that it will hurt later", it still thinks of the younger self.

Provoked thought: "You are only as old as you feel." But, some mornings I awake to thoughts of grand adventures and physical challenges... then, I try to get out of bed and find that is challenge enough for the day!
