I've been thinking alot about this fact in my life, since it has begun to begin. I know I"m just at the beginning...middle age they call it, although now-a-days there is so much pressure to be NOT. They say forty is the new thirty and fifty is the new forty, etc...however that goes. But what with the fibro (despite the wonder effects of the guai protocol in reversing that disease...) I have been forced to deal with the eventual shut down of things physical.
All I know is, I"m struggling to dress myself. All the clothes seem either too young for me, or made for the obese. I"m neither young nor obese anymore, so don't know what to do with myself.
Water, walking, and sleep. Fresh fruits and veggies, eating light, sunscreen, and a good bra...OK, once the sewing is done I plan on taking up the weight lifting once again. Nurturing relationships, the creative side of me, and focusing on accomplishing goals, also important. Not neglecting the spiritual...also important.
Wearing makeup and getting my hair cut regularly have taken on much greater importance than they used to over the past year.
Am I missing anything?????

I hadnt heard that 40's is the new 30's etc bit.
I'm closer to 60 than 50, and funny thing I dont feel that old
My body creaks and moans when I get up in the morning. After having the grandkids for a weekend my husband and I literally fall into a chair with exhaustion.
But as far as being almost 60, I just dont feel that I have been around that long.
Too many thinks I still want to see and do to sit down in a rocking chair and knit!
You are a very good writer, by the way:)
Middle aged...ugh...I feel it too.
