A fresh take on aging, wisdom, and why growing old is something to celebrate—not fear. Inspired by Beverly, Bob, Joyce Silas, Joyce Fryklund, Elaine, Tom, Stuart, & Rose. Thank you.
Your writing is getting better. This is a good read although I might disagree slightly - fighting to stay physically young/fit yet letting my souls age
I basically don’t disagree, but the physical deterioration and nagging pain is best for monks or penitents. “To An Athlete Dying Young.” There are some uncomfortable mental gyrations that you need to be skilled at. Just saying…(I’m almost 80.)
I like your perspective. It’s definitely not all sunshine’s and rainbows…
I think there’s something like a point of diminishing returns for each person. I guess the goal would be to push that point back as far as you possibly can
It’s got to start earlier than the moment you realize you are aging. I hate to think where I’d be if I hadn’t pushed myself to be active in my 50-70 years. I know I’m a bit wiser and have acquired skills over the years. Losing friends doesn’t help. Best to you.
