Pushing on to 66 this year, LOTS more to do with no end in sight
Heck, I was WAY out skied by an 80 yr old this past season, and he was taking it very easy on me.
Plan: me at 110 yo >
(hopefully no wheel chair!)
Life story: My Dad at 65th birthday party - "Son, I just want a few more good, healthy years with my family. I have had a good life."
32 yrs later,
32, he is driving, at the gym 3 days a week, sharp, traveling and enjoying life and a lifestyle of taking care of himself.
But he does not get many pats on the back since my Mom's uncle made it to 109.97 (11 days shy of 110) in pretty good darn shape thru 109. My Dad is actually in better shape than Uncle Bill at 97! Uncle Bill regretted not getting shoulder surgery at 80 because he did not think he would be around that long. 30 years later....
Hard to grasp the reality of time, at any age really. At 57, TRY to imagine another 50 yrs of adult life. That is 133% more adult life LEFT than you have already lived. Something to ponder when looking back, ........ and then forward.
oth - just lost a 67 yr old cousin yesterday. Enjoy everyday!
