Is this it?

Hi everyone, have read some great posts on here but always been the watcher and this is my first time writing anything.
Does anyone else feel slightly put out about getting on a bit? I find myself surrounded by my DDs and daughters in law who are all young and beautiful and have given me a dozen GC between them!
I associate more with them than friends my own age and maybe that is why I feel ancient and creaky. I try to look my best but have gradually put weight on over the past few years and I am finding that I can't leave my bedroom on a morning without a full face of make up just to make myself feel better. Should I accept that at 56 that's how it's going to be from now on?

I achieved lots of 'firsts' after I was 56 (but I have never run a Marathon and am not likely to now!)
I don't mean winning firsts, rather the first time I ever did anything new.
