Being 61 is a little bit confusing⦠and I absolutely love it. šš¤
Most days Iām thinking about retirement.
Other days Iām lifting weights like Iām training for the next 40 years. šŖ
My friends and I can go from talking about our kids and grandkids to protein, skincare, sleep, dating, travel, and whatever wellness habit weāre currently obsessed withāall in the same conversation. š
And Friday nights?
I used to think staying home meant I was missing out.
Now give me a good dinner, comfortable pajamas, my husband, my nighttime routine, and an early bedtime and I am THRILLED. š
Getting older has taught me something I wish I understood sooner:
You donāt become less of yourself with age.
You actually start becoming MORE yourself.
You care less about impressing everyone.
You protect your time.
You take your health more seriously.
You wear what makes you feel beautiful.
You travel when you can.
You laugh at things that used to stress you out.
You wake up with complete gratitude for all you have.
And somehow life gets simpler while also becoming a lot more interesting.
So no, I donāt want my 30s back.
Iām having way too much fun being 61. š¤āØ
Anyone else in this era with me? šš
