My health issues all started surfacing the last few years (just turned 65). Seems like I'm falling apart at times.

A few aches and pains, otherwise doing OK for 75, I am the envy of a lot of younger people. Slacked off on my bicycling this year, now some of the hills have gotten a lot steeper.

I turn 73 in July and there is not doubt that I ain't the man I used to be. There was a time that I believe that I could have walked to California, now the 1/4 trip to the mailbox is a chore. Then again, the man I used to be ain't the current me either and I wouldn't swap with him. It is hard to accept slowing down, but I am trying to roll with it.
My health is good but my energy level is low. Part of my aging process has made me a mechanic; I specialize in installing rear ends in recliners. I used to wonder why my Mother in Law went to so many funerals, I am now getting it, it is smug gloating over your contemporaries that you outlived. A good third of my highschool class is dead and buried. (better them than me) The gloating thing is exactly why I have requested to skip a public funeral or a death notice in the newspapers. People important to me will know and everybody else can keep wondering.

Too soon old and too late smart. At 79 I discovered that my mind and body got divorced without telling me. My mind says we are going to do such and such. My body says what are you thinking? You're gonna kill both of us.

Same here. I am inexplicably Becoming One with The Power of the Nap. Mind "still on highway at 60 but body wants to do 20 in school zone." Evenings like this I should be doing something useful like loading ammo but I'm lying on the couch with the cat, listening to music.
Time with the family is important.
