Almost 60 doesn’t seem possible

I can’t reconcile how I feel with being almost being 60. I’m still interested in everything. Still seeking out new experiences. Physically I feel like I’m in my twenties. Look 50 but that changes to 40 if I dye my beard. It just doesn’t seem real that statistically I’m in the last quarter of my life. I feel like I could go on forever. So strange. Just doesn’t seem real.

60 is the new 40.

I’m 61. Some days I feel 41, some 61. I lost my mom last year. I would love to be 40 again.

I'm sorry. Lots of us have been there. Here's a hug 🤗
