Questions regarding golden years!

[Srlife]

Hi everyone, I’m sure I’m not the only one, but I feel like I just turned my head and I’m in a complete different stage of life and I have questions.

First question I have, is there an easy way to transition from a happy full life to a complete opposite life?

Welcome to our forum, is there an easy transition? Old age slows things down due to natural physical and cognitive decline, such as slower reaction times, reduced muscle strength and coordination, and a decline in cognitive processing speed. While many changes are normal, they can affect daily tasks, and it's often possible to counteract or slow these effects through regular exercise and healthy habits.

Glad you joined us... and welcome! I'm not sure I'm fully understanding your question. Are you saying you expect your senior years to *not* be happy and full? Because that's not the way most folks find it... it often becomes fuller and happier because of the lack of 9 to 5 stress and demands.

Don’t overthink it, life is what we make it.

If you are able enjoy a happy and full life today you will be able to enjoy a happy and full life tomorrow.

There's no stopping it, may as well stay healthy as possible and enjoy the ride.

Welcome to the forums @Srlife.

The simple answer is probably "no", there is no EASY way. You can, however accept the change with as much dignity and grace as you can muster. A positive attitude and faith in the Lord both make a big difference.

That's true, and don't worry, it doesn't last long!

First of all, don't paint it with such a depressing brush.

All the happiness you’ll ever find lies within you. You can have a full life if you choose to.

When you feel like the "G" has fallen off your "Golden" Years, toughen up and motor on! Life is good....all of it. Growing old is a privilege, that many never get!

Unless your dead by 65, everyone who ever lived that many years, wonders what happened to their youthful view of life. You have heard that saying, "Everyone grows old, but not everyone grows up." Have some patience. Anything you think of, that you want to do, see if you can do it. Even small seemingly insignificant stuff. Follow your own mind...it got you this far.

Stay active and busy. Get involved with your community. Travel if possible. I will be 80 next month and I am president of the residents association at my retirement community and an editor of our newsletter. There are plenty of other volunteer opportunities, some helping others outside of our community.
