Where did time go (60)? Where’d that wrinkle come from?

Anonymous
Can’t believe it sometimes, it feels like yesterday I turned 50. I was dumbfounded then. Every now and then a new wrinkle shows up. I take care of my skin but boom there it is. It is all downhill from there right? How do you deal?

If you don’t have cancer or an unhappy marriage, consider yourself fortunate.

Your concerns sound so superficial.

Buckle up because old age holds alot worse than wrinkles!

A lot happens quickly at 70. Enjoy 60.
Decide on a strategy for your hair. Keep dying it? You need it lighter as your face gets older. Let it go gray? Or bleach it silver? I wish I had done that.

Grateful my workday goes by fast but the week going by so fast spooks me - 50 to age 60 went by so fast, I’m not looking forward to 70. Wrinkle coming in fast now, thank goodness for hair dye.

For every skin tone? I’ve been debating this.

I’m almost 64 and I completely agree. What really matters is the quality of your life, which is hugely impacted by health, relationships and fulfilling activities. Wrinkles are insignificant.

The title of my story would be "Whose Thigh is That?" I am 62.
