Oooops; I may have overstated my point. I agree that one should try to maintain as much of their personal independence as practical. I only meant that one should not try to prove that they are still 40. A few can do so of course. In my case I deal with a number of health problems and medicine can only offer so much help. Still, I try to stay as active and independent as I can. Two years ago I built a modest independent solar system for my house; I wanted to expand it a bit this year - no can do. 🤷♂️
Many of my age have already passed. Your mountain climbing lady is the exception and God bless her; however, she should use wisdom while taking risks. 💥 👴
