Can anyone relate?? I even ask my kids (3- which are grown) have I been/am I a good mom..they all said..Oh YES!! That put a smile on my face. I find myself not settling for a lot of BS.. hope I can post that. I feel like I am at a different phase of my life - 60 is not bad but I feel it every morning. I Mentally I do not feel 60 at all but I am reminded in the morning..with stiff muscles. But all in all, 60 is not too bad. I refuse to allow age to take over my body..šŸ¤£šŸ¤£
 

Looking at life as a 3 course meal is pretty much how i think. Early years to mid 20's the appetizer, from then to what is considered senior years main course, senior years the dessert. Each phase has it's positives & negatives how we like what the "meal" has been & is now is only possible to look at on an individual basis. As seniors we all have the luxury of looking back. At 79 I never would have thought I'd get to enjoy so much dessert time.

corrected to reduce confusion. I like both desert & dessert. I'm pretty sure those that don't like summer wouldn't like the 114 predicted for tomorrow here, but that is when I like to fill the air mattress & nap on our covered patio.

I feel guilty that I'm not getting involved in community projects. I have all this spare time and should be helping with a charity of some kind. Trouble is, I just don't want to. People so quickly take you for granted and I don't want to be committed to anything.

My mother was like that. Just before she died, she asked me If she had been a good mum and if she had done anything wrong.
Of course I said that she had done a good job, but I was lying. I had come to realise that she was very insecure and probably felt that life had dealt her a bad hand.

I'll soon be 70. I don't feel it, but the old man who stares back at me from the mirror reminds me. I won't ask my kids for a personal reference. Sometimes ignorance is bliss.

60 is pretty young to be reflecting on life it seems to me. When I hit 80 I seriously began thinking about it and now that I am headed for 90 in a couple of years, I seriously do reflect on my life. Often.

I think it pretty much depends on the individual and to what degree we define reflecting. I am working on self, therefore I find myself seeing where I have been and where I am going.

Reflecting on my life at age 60??? Well, I'm 74, who remembers what you thought when you were a kid?

A bit confused but ok. When I was a kid I did not think there were so many people with personal problems. As I aged and started dating, I wanted to be a kid again.. but decided to grow up.
