I’ve managed to outlive everyone else in my family. Nobody made it to 76 (my only brother died at 51), so I’ll take each day I get, and be thankful for it, no matter how many wrinkles and sags I have.

No longer can I just "chill" all winter then get in shape come spring.

Diet and exercise is a year-round effort now. Same with cutting back on TV and reading more books. Growing old takes a lot of work.

I am in my 60’s and am sporting the “grandpa bod”.
Proud of it. I earned this scars and all.

Seeing Myself in ‘Old Age’ With Mental Time Travel Made Me Change the Way I Live Now

Works every time.

Commenting without reading past the blurb, but does the author think beyond just getting old? Perhaps they should think on momento mori- remember your death. Good to focus on your future in this life, but far more important to focus on what comes after this life.

The net result of aging is Crepey Crapy Skin and inevitable death. If science finally overcomes the last it might mean they have to live forever with Biden as their President.

To actually get serious about this post for a change from the norm around here. It is a good point. Planning for the future is an art and concept now lost to time.
