Do You Know Me Now? In the Winter of My Life?
March 9, 2008 10:28 am Strictly PersonalWe all once thought that one far-off day we would die glamorously before old age struck: racing down the track in an F1 Ferrari, heli-skiing in the Alps, sailing single-handedly the Seven Seas, or orbiting the earth in a NASA capsule. Alas, it did not happen, and now we are more than mature. We still doubt our mirrors when we see these old people peering back at us. How did that happen?
And we’re not the only ones, now the vast majority of humanity in the Western world now lives to a ripe old age, eventually dying in bed. How glamorous is that?
Since we are never going to leave Planet Earth alive, we decided to make the best of it and treat aging as an adventure. If we could do just that, then we would be able to live life to its fullest. Thus inspired, we just had to figure out how to go about it.
There is no getting around it, as Bette Davis said – Old age ain’t for no sissies.
It took us some years to find a way to fully come to terms with our waning years. And like many great truths, the answer turned out to be simple.!
