Now That I’m 75 —Monday, January 15, 2023

Posted on by

I’ve been thinking about being 75—WHICH I AM VERY GRATEFUL TO BE!!!

And this is what I’ve come up with:

Being 75 is really rather neat. I’m still alive.  I am still very mobile.  I can still work and keep working hard and take a nap every afternoon to recharge! 🙂

But more than anything, I no longer care about all those things I used to care about when I was younger.

In the best possible of ways!

Getting older is a great and wonderful joy!  You finally are at peace with yourself, your body, and (even) how to approach the world.

So, if I have one bit of advice from my very advanced age: EMBRACE your age, each and every step of the way!!

Your friend on a western Colorado farm,

Linda

  1. Dear Linda! I have been away from this site a few years now but keep seeing your posts. Soon I’m in for a new surgery so I think I will return here. Being 60, as I am now, has indeed been a good reminder of how fortunate I am.
    So nice and comforting to read your advice. Embrace yourself, be ok with what age brings you.
    Thank you so much for these words of experience!!

  4. I totally agree with you, For those of us blessed with good health and mobility in our older years, aging is wonderful and a blessing. I am 82 and still very active and in good health. I think when we have purpose each day and keep active, our health remains good. Happy Happy Birthday. I am amazed at all you and your husband do. Enjoy your blog and read it each day.
