Message: [QUOTE="Hans Sprungfeld, post: 4873217, member: 181"] The present may not be ALL he cares about, but he is showing a growing sense that it is of paramount importance and all we truly have. But functionally, I'm just quibbling atop overall admiration for his current growth path, your well-expressed recognition of it. This resonates in a new recent light. Part of completing my relocation from CT to KY, is 'moving into' being 70, which includes elements of resetting, reimagining, and reconfiguring my life. Ostensibly, I've jumped off from a prior lifetime as a Northeasterner in order to be of service and witness the miracle of grandparenting since 5 weeks before baby's birth...while navigating the puzzle of aging. Among other things, I've updated Pete Townsend's 1965 lyric to, "Hope I die before I get [I]old[/I] old." I'm operating with a framework that my systems will continue to rack up both predictable & unpredictable indicators of advanced mileage in years to come. That subject was part of my first visit last Friday with my new primary care physician. My previous 'reset' came at 56, when accepted that it was harder & harder to be like I was at 42. I set about trying to be 56 until I was 70, which similarly got harder & harder. My scaled back aim is to work with being 70 until 77. Past that, IDK, and I'm okay with that today. For certain, I'll never again be as young as I am today. Thanks for giving me this reminder to incorporate into my approaching & acting on today's continued medical insurance/body care records-keeping, planning, and life design project. Last week's view here of what others are doing in retirement was similarly helpful. It's been a great season to be a UConn Husky basketball fan! [/QUOTE]
