  • Losing weight

    Losing weight
    Biosocial Development- I will be losing weight because as I age, the amount of muscle tissue that I have will decrease. I will not be able to work out as hard or for the length of time that I could during my youth. This muscle degeneration will also lead to lower levels of flexibility, muscle frailness, muscle stiffness, and muscle atrophy. http://www.flickr.com/photos/foshydog/4270445346/
  • Increase books read

    Increase books read
    Cognitive Development- Starting around this time I will probably spend a lot of time reading books and learning more about the world around me. After retirement there may not be a lot for me to do except to travel, do housework, maintain hobbies, visit family, and learn through reading and watching television programs. Therefore, much of my time will be spent getting smarter through reading books. This new knowledge will make me think about the world differently. http://hypotheticalhelp.com/fee
  • Play with great-grandchildren

    Play with great-grandchildren
    Psychosocial Development- At this point many of my friends may start to become ill and I won't be able to spend time with them as much. Ideally, much of my time will be spent with my family. This will influence how I interact with others and how much time I spend with people my own age. http://www.flickr.com/photos/briana/2541902408/
  • Feelings of sadness/lonliness or joy/happiness

    Feelings of sadness/lonliness or joy/happiness
    Psychosocial Development- As my friends continue to die I will most likely become increasingly sad and lonely. I may feel depressed or in despair when I realize that I am close to death as well. On the other hand I may feel happy if I think that I have lived a good, fulfilling life. http://nocturnatum.deviantart.com/art/Lonely-Old-Lady-151836204
  • I am very forgetful

    I am very forgetful
    Cognitive Development- While I am dying, I will be very old and forgetful. I may not remember things that people have told me multiple times. It also may be hard for me to remember how to do things whcih may affect my quality of life. Being forgetful and not knowing what I should be doing will affect how I think about life and what I think about the people around me. http://fayettewoman.com/alzheimers-quiz.html
  • Small and weak

    Small and weak
    Biosocial development- My muscles are very small and weak and my bones are frail. It may be hard for me to stand up straight and walk very fast or far. http://reecetenderheart.com/affordable-care-that-meets-your-needs/
  • Death

    Death
    I predict that I will live a long, healthy, happy, and fulfilling life and that I will die around the age of 90-95. As I age I plan on maintaing a healthy lifestyle through eating well and exercising. The family support that I will receive/give throughout my life will help me live for such a long time. http://www.oversizecasket.com/heartland-closed.htm
