My Amusing Midlife Revelations

A healthy aging lifestyle should always include time for FUN. So, I thought it was about time for a light-hearted post...

At age 60, I like to think of myself as a 'midlifer'-- not a senior. But, I can honestly say that I have noticed some changes with the years.

How many of these midlife realizations can you relate to?

  • I've reached a point where I've stopped lying about my age and started bragging about it (see, I just told you was 60).
  • I think Millennials are much younger than I was at that age.
  • On the other hand, people my own age are much older than I am.
  • I consider coffee as one of the most important things in life.
  • I get a buzz from one glass of wine.
  • I asked 'Alexa' to play 70's music and she loaded an oldie's station.
  • I suddenly find "Antiques Roadshow" fascinating.
  • I am aware that other people's grandchildren aren't as bright as mine.
  • I don't like traffic, waiting, crowds or children in restaurants.
  • I can't remember the last time I stepped into a mall.
  • If I call people after 9 pm, I ask "Did I wake you?"
  • I use only whitening toothpaste.
  • I can't lose 10 pounds in 3 days anymore.
  • If I see someone wearing high heels, I just can't resist the urge to ask if they hurt.
  • I wake-up early on days I can sleep in, not by choice.
  • I've started to think an Alaskan cruise might actually be fun.

Now it's your turn! What are your midlife revelations?
