I'd go with...

1) Velcro shoes

2) Spandex pants

Health and mobility. Everything else falls in line.

Serious…. Ppl with whom I’ve worked that have encouraged me and built me up while all the while challenging me to keep reaching for new accomplishments

Laughing with and enjoying talking with my grown children

 

[Paco Dennis]

The handicapped parking spaces in shopping centers.

 

[Dustbunny]

Of all our doctors' appointments this year, nothing was worse than we already had.

I am also thankful for Senior Forums and you good people.

 

[Olivia]

To be thankful for the age l am today rather than moan about the age l'll be tomorrow.

So happy to be healthy enough to really love every day. I live on my own and am glad that I can.

$2.50 bus/train/ferry rides. Senior discounts in clubs for meals. When I'm visiting someone in hospital, I can get my parking ticket validated and it only costs 6.50 for as long as I like, otherwise I'd have to pay per hour. 3 hours parking free in shopping centres and when I show my seniors card, I get an extra hour free. We are so lucky here and so many people do nothing but Winge.

I'm happy that I'm not stuck in an office all day any more.

I've never been comfortable around people, so being stuck in close quarters with others without the benefit of alcohol or drugs was pure hell. So that's the number one thing I appreciate about being old. Now I can choose who I associate with and when, or I can choose not to socialize at all, which is the option I normally choose.

$2.50 bus/train/ferry rides.

I agree about the $2.50 public transport fare. What a bargain! Especially as I don't have a car.

 

[Inept]

A good night's sleep without dreams of any kind.

 

[Naturally]

I'm thankful I don't have to do alcohol anymore. I get the same effect just by standing up fast.

 

[Aunt Bea]

I’m thankful for my independence and autonomy.

 

[Mr. Ed]

A step closer to death. wisdom, Can finally hang up my dancing shoes

 

[Raven]

I am thankful for a warm place to live, food to eat and while I have health problems I am not in pain.

 

[jujube]

I have to agree with Beezer....spandex pants. And naps, let's not forget naps.

 

[Pepper]

Breathing. I like breathing.

 

[Timewise 60+]

I am thankful for "Today" and that we (my wife and I) are still here to enjoy it!

 

[Dustbunny]

These things.

 

[hawkdon]

I'm grateful for finding sobriety 45 yrs ago, without it I would
be nothing.
