How are you adapting to being "older?" What do you do to fight it? [View all]

I think its harder for women re: the whole "looks" thing. Its really hard to look in that mirror everyday (especially if its in broad daylight where mine is...) and see that face, those lines. Those furrows!! The jowls, etc.

And your hands! I haven't been as careful as I should have all these years and they look so old!! Even crepey!!

Still I'm still around - above ground - that is and that's a wonder considering all the ones I know that aren't.

Running is my only weapon plus I TRY to eat right and get some good sleep.
Stress and worry are my worst problems - hard to shake.
