On the other hand, some studies say people in their 70’s tend to be the happiest. Not the least because they have learned to avoid people like Rat.
When we get to our 70s, we have come to terms with a lot—for one, letting go of some impractical ideas about what we want to achieve, and what we want out of life. We realize that every day wasted feeling discontented, is a day that will never come around again.
Yes! 🙂
I would put it differently. People like rats keep away from happy 70+ year olds as the latter will drive the former nuts.
😀
Everyone is different, especially over seventy …
Amen to that.
Something to look forward to, I guess. On the other hand, I’ve fairly content now in my middle 60s.
In our 70s some of us give up trying to be what we think others want us to be. Just being ourselves is happier. Second childhood is wonderful!
Amen to that! 😀
actually with my health situation being what it is and watching the world’s situation… i’m pretty happy just waking up each day! 😀
that makes me the pig I guess.
I still love the line Abe Lincoln said… you know…
‘folks are pretty much happy as they make up their minds to be.”
I, too, agree with Abe! 🙂
I’m at the 70s marker yet, I’m hoping I will still be “flowing along” achieving what I can, when I can…
Because of a few issues, too bad, just need to make sure they are “flowing along with me” and taking a break etc when I need too.Today somehow that break was needed,and I took a 60min horizontal, not sleeping just resting. I feel a lot better now.
Plus I ate something – not a full on anything, and savoury, all good…
I was thinking it was time for another trip to the retreat centre…was a needful thing 🙂
I’m NOT…how does my keyboard do that! And another NOT left out in the 2nd para “issues, NOT too bad,” – the next “not sleeping” correct!
Good for you for taking care of yourself!
