Why does it have to be one or the other. Why not develop both?

Agreed. If you can still run around with the bright young things, go do it, but don't forego the pleasure of socialising with oldies. Until a few weeks ago, that was exactly my plan - still socially immature in some respects, I felt the need to try to find my feet socially amongst the youngsters. Wouldve done so (more) too, had my home city anything approaching a decent lesbian scene. At the same time, I was and am glad of the company of the older women in the walking group I'm part of. They are my social 'safe place', and keep me grounded, and have been instrumental in my coming to feel entirely relaxed about who I am. Just at the moment, they're also my lifeline, as I just havent the energy to try to chase (or be chased by!) anybody :-(

This too, will change... :-)

Hi ya

Sometimes I have the energy to hang with the young folk... lately though my energy has been running low. Yes, older folks keep me grounded..too grounded.

My how time fly’s when your having fun and living life to it’s fullest. Strangely enough. I forgot how old I was until sitting in a meeting and glancing around the room to realize that I was in a group of youngsters tolerating my input. Lol. In my mind I still feel I am 21 , but when I mentioned a horse is a horse of course. And got a blank stare. I knew it was time to shut up. Though I am hitting the 57 rightful age next year to which is of 3/4th of life has passed. I have never felt more intuitively forthcoming. Life is more enjoyable. I don’t take things for granted anymore. And if you got an issue with me? Then it’s yours to claim. You own it! I have less to say and listen more. Only giving advice if warranted. Would I give up anything to go back to age 21? Hell No. The mistakes I’ve made. I own. The regrets are far and few. The knowledge I’ve gained? Priceless! The elasticity of wrinkles may have packed up and left. But the elasticity of life? Fantastic.

It is true......inside I sure as hell don't feel 65 I feel like I always have!

It's only when I use certain references and I get a blank stare back from someone that I'm reminded of my actual age in numbers.........

You mean like, "if you'll pull out the map, I'll show you how to get there?"

I'm fifty-six and I am really lucky. Not an ache or a pain anywhere.
