Getting older is nice! You’re smarter and have more confidence. Plus you’re no longer worried about appearances. I know it’s that way for me, most of the time. I no longer need that huge house, the fancy car, the closet full of clothes, closet full of shoes (okay, that one’s not true – there’s something about shoes I just can’t get over). I’m not out to impress many people anymore. I am who I am.
At this age too I can accept others for who they are. I don’t need to bend people to my way of thinking. If I don’t like the way they think I don’t have to have them in my life. They’re gone! That’s freeing too – I don’t need to have everyone as a friend, not even on Facebook.
Scaling back takes on many forms; from material possessions to people. That may sound harsh but doesn’t everyone know someone they just don’t want to hang out with anymore? This is the time to get rid of them. You should enjoy life, every minute of it.
