So- on my way to an eye test I was cheered to hear a discussion on Woman's Hour (BBC Radio 4) about older women actually feeling better than they had done when younger. Contrary to popular belief most older women i.e. 55+ feel re-energised and fitter and apparently an increase in testosterone makes us more confident.
Its difficult to remember how one felt when younger- most of us probably say we feel the same- but perhaps the ability to be more assertive as well as more sure about what one wants out of life is partly based in hormones as well as experience.
Then to the opticians to be told my distance vision is improving! Balanced by less-good near-sight of course but I seem to be in a happy place visually!
Eye-test is another job on the post-retirement list ticked off. At this rate I'll be able to go back to work by Christmas.
