I am a New Member at Similar Worlds

Hi there, I'm happily married and in my early 40s. So far the 40s are the best years of my life.
I've never felt more empowered, organised, confident and uninhibited. Fortunately, my husband still finds me attractive but then I work hard to keep in shape mentally and physically as does he. We have a wonderful bond.
But I have a dread of getting older. I don't like the thought of being 50 or 60. I hope that changes by the time I get there.
Has anyone else struggled with the thought of getting older? Please tell.

Oh and one more thing my parents seemed to be happy in their 50s and early 60s . Only recently my mother developed wrinkles which makes her feel bad . Hopefully she can get Botox soon . Her health hasn't been great which caused her problems because she's been diabetic since the age of 42. I'm trying to avoid that myself but I love food and it's hard .

@SW-User Yes the dreaded wrinkles. My son refers to the lines on my eyes as Angel Wings....Bless him😂
