Summary
Did you ever imagine turning [age] would be the way it is now?
When you think about that time, the Sixties and who you were – that whole period of your life – has it an influence in your life?
In what ways have you been surprised about changes in your body?
In what ways are the body changes you are experiencing different than you imagined? The same? (This question was asked if people discussed any body changes in the question above.)
Who out of your past would be the least surprised at how you look now?
What do you imagine them knowing about you?
In what way has the ageing experience of people you have known been useful to you?
What would you like people to know about who you are now?
Who you might be in the future?
What is most satisfying about who you are now and in what ways?
Is there something I should have asked you that I didn't ask you?
In the past, have you ever put together the thought and ideas you are expressing to me today or is this a new experience of thinking about ageing and your body altogether?
