Elizabeth, Age 77
I am 77 and when my knees don’t hurt I feel like 47!
For 20 years until January, I worked for a florist, but got laid-off (he down-sized) at the beginning of 2012. The thing I liked most about working was the social network it provided; I miss being surrounded by people on a daily basis. However, I’m a gym rat now, my house is cleaner, and I don’t have to grocery-shop for a week’s groceries.
I am content being my age, because so many of my friends have serious health problems and have had to limit their activities. My husband and I feel fortunate that we are still able to do the things we like. He’s still working, 3 days a week, and still enjoying it.
