Turning 60 is a milestone that deserves to be vibrant, yet it often brings subtle, nagging frictions to daily life. We notice them in the small moments: the frustration of finding a light switch in the dark, the quiet worry over whether the morning blood pressure medication was taken, or the physical exhaustion that makes a simple task like vacuuming feel like a major chore.
