If you are mid 50s, how do you feel about things?

[ssd]

It can be anything, health, wealth, family, the future....

Aged 56.
Feel pretty lucky

• lovely husband ( although he is sulking in kitchen currently as he hates going out and friends have asked us to dinner over weekend)
• lovely pets including new puppy

-lovely friends who I share with and we just “get” each other

• face ok due to many many years high SPF use
• hate the vertical lines above my lip which seemed to have exploded in the last week but I don’t want to have fillers/Botox as worried sending wrong message to myself
• lost a precious sister 11 yrs ago and still miss her every moment

-no kids - 2 miscarriages and 2 unsuccessful goes at IVF. I would have used donor eggs but husband refused - forgiven him now but took a while.

• I need to loose 10 kg which am struggling to do
• I have been lucky with my job! Worked hard and good satisfaction but never pays well
• mortgage almost paid off which will give us 10 years to save for retirement .

Satisfied overall. Try to keep positive. Antidepressants in early 40s have saved my life. I will never stop them!
