Coming from my slice of life to help you find more joy in yours
I was sitting scrolling through the YouTube shorts instead of actually doing what I was meant to be doing, and I came across one which really hit home.
I think this short video is so well done and carries such a strong, powerful message. Hope you like it (let me know in the comments what you think of this).

Interesting video. I understand that some old people don’t feel old, or don’t think of themselves as old, but that hasn’t been my experience. I’ll be seventy soon and I definitely feel (and look) seventy. I’m aware that getting to live for seventy years is a privilege not granted to everyone, and I’m thankful for it, but I can’t help envying those lucky old people who don’t feel old.
I get that. Although I’m ‘only’ turning 50 soon, old injuries are def showing themselves. Add to that hormonal changes etc I have days where I am all too aware of the ageing process;. It has taken me a long time to accept it too – the face in the mirror was a surprise for a long time. I am grateful for it though too as it brings a lot of positives. And I hope I get to 70 and beyond, especially since my mother only got to 67. (Between you and me, my husband turns 70 later this year!! sshhh)
Ha! My husband just turned 78. He’s in good shape for an old guy, but he’s definitely feeling his age. 😵💫
My mother died at 66 after many years of declining health. My father lived to 86, despite a plethora of health problems that would have killed a less stubborn man. My eldest brother died at 69 from multiple organ failure due to morbid obesity and diabetes, and my youngest brother died at 46 from alcoholism, drug abuse, and chain smoking. I don’t have any of the health problems they had, thank heaven, so with any luck I might have another few years of life left in me. 😉
