I don't have the energy or stamina I used to have; and it's much harder to lose those pounds that seem to appear out of nowhere. I don't think the forgetting stuff is necessarily age related, but it is annoying all the same.

And on a positive note, I'm much better at self-reflection. I can get away with saying or doing things I couldn't have in my 30s or 40s. I am much more comfortable in my own skin in spite of the new aches and pains that come and go on a daily basis. I am counting down to retirement next year and am so looking forward to writing more, starting a garden, going out more to take photographs, and so much more.
