Recently while at a doctor’s office, staff used the phrase, “Well this is for older people”.
I bristled internally as I thought to myself, how does this apply to me! I am not in that category! But then I thought does being over 65 put me there? I happily reminded myself that self-perception, how I act, how I respond physically and other factors will determine whether I am older! And yes, each of us is older today than we were yesterday!
At 72 I have recently come to identify myself as an older person. Takes a lot of pressure off of trying to look and act like a younger person.
