Even though I'm only 63 and "technically" not a senior yet(unless there's a discount involved)the thing that surprised me the most(and I must say pleasantly surprised me)was the fact that I no longer tolerate people's bulls**t, and am able to call them out if needed. I also don't hold back on something that I feel needs to be said, in fear of what others may think, as I am my own person, and that too is a good thing.
I had always heard that as we get older we tend to lose our filters, but thought that that applied to those 80 and above, so was surprised that it has hit me as young as I am. But I guess when you've been through as much as I have in my life, I've earned that right to say what I want, when I want.
My friends and family have just gotten used to it and will say that I don't have a problem just calling things as I see them, and I think that's actually a good thing, as life is just too short to pretend you're someone or something you're not.
I call it having wisdom and discernment, which more people should have, yet many don't. Perhaps that's something that doesn't come until we've had enough life under our belts huh?
