They say the golden years are years of enjoyment and leisure. As a nurse and middle aged woman I would like to call BS on this term. While you are indeed no longer working many people find their leisure time spent at more doctors and specialists appointments. What many people fail to tell you when you are younger is that you will later pay for the way you treated your body in your youth. The many years you may have spent on your feet or lugging around product that no human should legally be allowed will come back to bite you in the end. When we are young the thought of getting older just isn’t there. What do you mean I shouldn’t listen to my earbuds on high all day, what was that you said dear???
I will say this, as I look back over my years I am still shocked that my 20’s and 30’s are over. Everyone will tell you that these years go by in a flash and it really feels like I went to bed one day young and woke up a middle aged woman. It really does go by in a blink.
So enjoy your youth but look after yourself. You get one body, look after it well and it will look after you in your “golden years.”
