Thriving At Age 70 And Beyond Jessica Granby

Everyone ages differently, and lifestyle plays a major role, but you'll experience both hard-to-notice and impossible-to-miss changes in your physical and mental health.
Read on for the good, the bad, and the what's-up-with-that? transformations you'll encounter in your 70s. I met Rose Bickman through a friend of mine who runs a very successful bed and breakfast place called The Hideaway, in Connecticut. Rose is a 76-year-old retired bank employee. She's been living in a senior hi-rise building in New York City since her husband of 46 years passed away. Rose does not agree with what she calls the rocking-chair mentality and lifestyle that some of society slots people into once they pass the age of 55.
So, here you'll have a few pearls, and some personal comments relating to aging, as well as a few laughs, in this collection of Upsides and positives to life after 70.
I must say that at 74 years old, I hadn't really taken the time to analyze the aging process in such a completely positive way, but as Rose said to me, "You've just been too busy worrying about growing old that you forgot to take the time to enjoy it."
