Here’s to the new middle age

So, according to reports out this week, scientists have now discovered that 50 is no longer officially “middle aged”. It’s now 60! Phew!

Have you noticed that the older you get, life always begins at the next birthday with a zero on the end?

You hit your 40th birthday and all your friends pat you on the back and shout “ah, what you worrying about, life begins at 40!”.

Then you hit your 50th birthday…. and apparently life begins then, too!

To me, age is just a number.

The older we get, the more life skills and knowledge we gain, the only downside is the more creaky my knees are getting and I’m having to have an afternoon nap every day recently.

Have you noticed that when you are in your early teens, 60 seems so old and ever so far away?

I can remember thinking 30 was the slippery slope to retirement!

Each decade brings us new found skills and greater knowledge, so let’s raise a glass of Sanatogen to 60, officially the new middle age. Cheers!
