Yeah, no!!!!! I’d rather be in my 50s. . .you (should) know a little bit about who you are, and free from tying yourself in knots trying to “be” whatever is the “social norm” at the time. . .
You can’t wait until you’re middle aged to start doing things you used to do when you were younger Auntie A! When I was in my 20s, I made a vow to keep my body up. I’m 65 and in better shape than most guys a half or even a third of my age! ;)
Actually, at 78, I feel stronger and healthier than I did in my 20s… I was very malnourished… out of stupidity… I just didn’t know an better… and ate all sorts of junk foods, and not enough real, nourishing foods, and I even take some supplements which I didn’t do then!
I know the feeling. I get up in the morning, my mind telling me I can crawl under the porch and fix that broken floor joist. Then after I remove the entry cover and start crawling in through the small opening my body yells “just how stupid are you”. The answer is, stupid enough to keep going. Once inspected I crawl back out head to my workshop, pick up the phone and ask my son-in-law to stop by for coffee. Maybe his body doesn’t yell as loud.

Your mind also says you are a rational person Aunty. I hate to tell you but your mind is a big fat liar.

I’m the same way. My mind feels like I’m in my 30’s. But then my back aches, my knees hurt, and my hips ache…
