I'm in my early pipties and friends and doc says I need to slow down now... I don't like that and refused the last 3 years
I'm supposed to find a new job give up my beloved electric bike change some of my diet FUUUUUCK if you knew me its go go go
Today it is hitting me I'm fucking ohld and act like my body is 20...
Do older people need to slow down ? Or am I a flawed human being ?
How did you all slow down..was it easy
I'm at a crossroads here standing alone looking to the heavens for help ..

Sea still surfs
Prowler still plays baseball
Do you guys ever get badly hurt because you're older
Do you even think about it or just still do as you've done

X, if you're in a trade like you are, that's a young mans job. Most tradesmen I know stopped doing that kind of work in their 30's and either are managers or run their own companies.

I understand but look at the toll it's taking on your body. Even dropping off material can seriously fuck you up. Let your younger guys do that. You're needed in the office to find more prospective clients and go over the books.

Sub contractors are the backbone of the construction trade. Usually good sub contractors have year round work depending on the trade.

The best part of owning your own company is being able to take time off but trusting someone else to take the helm is well...another thing.

You can always sell your company to a corporation for huge $$$.

Slow down a bit, delegate more, focus on getting the jobs vs. doing the jobs. Go for walks and stop to smell the roses.
Spend time with the girl doing fun things together. Enjoy your life, it's much too short.

Talking to a childhood friend yesterday, reminiscing about the crazy parties we used to throw, all the drunken funny episodes

He said those are fond memories, but he no longer enjoys "visiting" them because he's getting ready to live "the best years"

Dude is my age and sounded like he was 60

Speaking of aging, I went and got my hair done yesterday evening. The stylist took a picture of the back of my hair. I have so many grays...used to be just at my temples...now I'm grey around the whole perimeter of my head. The part in my hair is getting gray...

Now I have to decide to color it or let it go...

I do the same thing! It's sort of embarrassing at first, then it's "meh, fuck it" I have to be able to read.
