Embracing The Silver Age : Thoughts and Worries About Future of Getting Older
#
As I am getting at aged and my health is not that as I used to be when I was younger. I have so many thoughts in my mind what will my future will be alone as becoming an old woman. I am not that lucky in life to have a husband or a partner. I have kids but children in now days are not that getting importance to their parents it is getting a toxic tradition to expect more from my children.
So from now on I am starting to getting used to be alone, live alone, work alone, take care of my self and health alone. But what if the time comes that when my health fails and I can’t no longer work. I would like to ask here if have you ever also felt the same way that I do? I do not have wealth nor money enough for my retirement. I am thinking of some options what Id like to do?
I love doing business but because of I am alone I can’t handle it and I am afraid of my mental health that will breakdown of too much stress and depressions. I would like to hear from other Silver Bloggers here if what preparations you been doing as Silvers. That will might help me to stop thinking too much worries in life.
One more thing I have insecurities in life that I do not like to look old nor get old so I am trying to take supplements to look young and do skin cares lol.I guess this is the insecurities of getting old that wanted to be look young.
I mean at my age now of 45 I am trying to live my life to the fullest and I would like to be prepared for the upcoming preparation when my body and mental health feels weak. There is a senior citizen pension provided by the government of Philippines I think that was 2,000 pesos in every 3 months and that will be 34 HBD in every 3 months.
Well as of now I just enjoying my moments here in Coffee shop sipping coffee while doing my online Hive orientations onboarding and actual coaching onboarding as well. I enjoy working and writing online. Answering too many newbie queries about Hive and I am so happy that I have educated them about Hive to understand the blockchain platform that’s its not all about money but the most important is that you enjoy expressing your thought ans engaging to everyone and most of all I am have a lot of friends from all over the world and because of Hive I meet my best friend here @diosarich who introduce me this community.
She used to be very active in Hive before but still engaging due to her busy in work as magazine writer. I am very thankful to her that she is always there for me through my ups and downs. I am just following my routine daily made a cup of organic coffee in the morning then prepare to go to coffee shop. I love working online here it’s not noisy I can focus a lot working online and thinking about life then eat dinner go back home and sleep.
Sometime I feel my life so boring it became opposite whe I was younger I am so hyper and active now as I am getting aged I getting slowly and bored but this is life I have to go on.
Thank you so much to my fellow Silver Bloggers for reading my post I will be happy to hear about your thoughts and opinions about getting into aging and life of being an old alone lonely lady.

Hi, #silverbloggers community. It's been a while. I apologize for my long silence and for not posting articles in the community. Thanks @antonette for a short chat a while ago and letting me know that you wrote a post and told me to read it. I am bothered by your situation right now. Take time to discern. Let go, let God.
I am glad that technology has become such an integral part of our lives today. Despite that, I can’t help but feel concerned about the behavior of today’s youth. It gives me the impression that getting their attention is a challenge. When they do listen, it often comes with a sigh and a grumble, as if accepting is a burden. It’s an obvious dissimilarity to our childhood, when just a simple whistle from our parents would have us rushing to them, their lessons resonating deeply in our hearts and minds. It makes me wonder how we strayed so far from that connection.
By the way, @antonette has just mentioned that I am wrapped up with different tasks from my new job. Since the passing of my son, I have buried myself in work to fill the space in my life. Again, my apologies to you guys. Although, once in a while, I write personal blogs to break the monotony of my job. I'll get back to the community soon. I missed sharing my thoughts in this awe-inspiring community. Catch you around, guys.
My warm regards to the ever charming @lizelle, Kuya @tengolotodo, @samsmith1971 who brought me here, and to everyone who shares the same thoughts with me. God bless everyone.

With the time ticking so fast right now, thinking about age is just normal. I also have my dilemma about that, di na pabata, walang gaanong ipon. But i'm trying to add more to my savings, hopefully madagdagan, huhu. Anyways, fighting!
The same way that I do thats why as of now hanggat malakas pa I am working double time and aayusin ko na ang SSS ko kc pag matanda kang walang pero or senior without money you are just a piece of nothing or walang silbing matanda ang sakit at mahirap tumanda :(
You're not alone in this matter. There's always a lot of what if in the future. But I don't think about that more often. Just focus on the present and let tomorrow worry for itself. I stop myself from worrying about tomorrow coz what if tomorrow never comes?😬😅
You stopped worrying .....
😛😛😛, cannot help sometimes😌

If you ever need a hand with answering newbie questions just let me know. I have met quite a few of your onboardees!
As for getting old, well I like to get rid of some of my grey hairs lol!
Life is life and if we worry too much about the future we won't enjoy the now, the moment.
The government pension in the UK is not that much easier. I can see my doing side hustles long into retirement, that is just the way of life now!
