29 Things That People Started Really Appreciating Only After They Got Older

Quiet days. Days when there is nobody else around.

Edit : I wish you guys would stop responding to this. I want my peace and quiet.

My wife. 

I thought I was at 100% when we got married. Here I am sitting at 235% like a bad game of smash bros.

No neighbors. I want more land between me and the next guy.

Comfortable shoes ☺️.

How little I care what people think of me. I still wrestle with what I think of myself, but peer pressure does nothing to me anymore. Freedom!

Being very selective with whom I spend my time with. I do not have any interest in meeting new people constantly. I like who I like.

The sound of rain

My mate retired 18 months ago, at 70. He rarely answers his cell phone nowadays. I asked him why, he said “my life is really good, I enjoy everything about it. No one has ever called me with good news”.

Quiet mornings. Just laying in a cozy bed with a warm cup of coffee.

Good people who don't have a lot of negative baggage, did a lot of their inner work already and are nice people.

When plans get cancelled and I can chill at home.

Generally speaking, I don't feel bored anymore.
Shockingly enough, when there's nothing to do... I actually sit back and do nothing.

Nature, Star Gazing, & Coffee.

Going to bed early 😂.

Walking up early on the weekends. Grocery stores are empty, the world is still hungover and sleeping.

Old people. Could see them as boring in the past. Now I am fascinated by their experience and knowledge. In comparison, I feel disappointed by the current generation of young people who love a lot their phone and social medias. In comparaison, old people seem to have more to share, they are less boring.

Cooking.

It use to feel like a chore to feed myself, but now I enjoy shopping for ingredients and cooking a meal.

Gardening has become a new passion.

Who else loves when their families get together & enjoy genuine quality time now that everyone's older?

Myself.
