Somehow, I seem to have become 79. Dang! My mother died at 69 and one of her friends told me, "She would have hated to be 70." I don't feel that way.
My seventies have been pretty good--though I do find it sobering/amazing that in another year I'll be 80. But I know so many 80+ year old who are living their best life, so I'll just say, So far, so good.
Consider the alternative . . .
