Totally agree - my analogy is...

If you don’t even try to get up the stairs every day you will always be at the bottom. I don’t always get to the top every day but I am always further up than if I didn’t try!

Hello and welcome. All the time you're not 60 in your head you will be fine. I'm sorry you have had so much to deal with over the last 23 years, but from your post, I reckon you will be the recycled teenager causing havoc but in a good way. Rock on Elephant 100

I hear you! I’ll be 60 next month and apart from all the aches and pains, and being in danger of turning into a ‘grumpy old woman’, I still think I’m a young(ish) thing. That’s especially so when my 58 y/o sister and I get together - we can be very silly and immature, and it’s actually quite liberating! Age is definitely just a number - pick one and stick to it!

Welcome Elephant 100 you’ll definitely fit right in we are all a bit nuts and need a rant and to be silly and immature as often as possible. Nice to hear of another who can kick ass even if it’s only in your mind but I intend to be naughty as often as possible. Stay strong keep posting 🤪
