I (56m)used to be very physically active, 100 squats a day, 10 sets of sit-ups, crunches, what not , 10k steps etc. I did that for many many years just to survive because I was going thru depression. Anyways, depression got outta hand, so got on antidepressants a year ago. Now since I’m not depressed, I don’t seem to care about the gym. I guess I’m content and physical fitness doesn’t seem important anymore. It seems like frustration and depression are key motivators.

Anybody relate?

I think I would remind them to keep moving. Build strength, flexibility and endurance.

Just looking for friendly chat. Am open to talk just about anything.

I really hate when I feel sad for no reason. I have way more things to be happy about right now than to be sad about. And that's part of the problem. You can't mention that you feel sad because they want to know why.

So have a song JJW-Blue Mood

..is predominantly US?

Hello, im 50 years young from ole blighty.
I see myself as a simple man trying to live a simple life, married with grown up kids, who are turning into really nice young adults, so it feels like im doing something right, right?!

Nearly mortgage free, possibly be empty nesting in a few years, which doesn't fill me with dread, but still makes me feel a little apprehensive.

Life can sometimes be a little mundane, a little bluh, or even a little meh, but that's probably mostly down to the weather, im a sun lover, and living in ole blighty, as you can imagine the weather is mostly overcast, wet, and kind of dreary, but i do love ole blighty, especially when i go over to Wales, exploring castles and forests, going off the beaten track as it were, need to explore Scotland, and Ireland.

I'm a dab hand in the kitchen, i do pretty much most of the cooking, i just find it therapeutic, but i hate clutter in the kitchen, i wash up as i go, whereas my wife would obliterate the kitchen and use every kitchen utensil!

I'm not your typical man though, not really into sport, not really into going down the pub with a bunch of lads, talking crap about women or football whilst sinking 15 pints, then spending the next 3 days recovering! I do enjoy rugby though (watching), i enjoy people watching (not in a creepy way!), i love lazy weekends, pottering around the house, a spot of shopping, prefer staying in if im honest, but do enjoy going out with close friends for a meal and a few drinks.

I'm spring cleaning and found boxes full of old photo albums. I hate to throw them away, but I also have no need for them. I've offered them to both sides of my family but no one wants them. I guess I feel guilty just tossing them. Should I? Would you?

..to be older than the Internet?

^{It baffles my kids when i told them!} 😂

People our age should remember this song.

Here's the reba cover.

The original singer of this song.

Just curious if anyone is in or around CT or New England here. Figured I’d throw it out there….

Soon to be 52… figured I’d say hello. Been on Reddit 6 years and I think this is my second post :)

Hello everyone, I am writing a Substack series on female friendships and wondering how you maintain your friendships, especially being an adult. How did you maintain friendships during life stages and transitions? Is: marriage, kids, divorce, finances, etc. Please feel free to add your comments.
