1.
As I've grown older, my life really has gotten better because although I'm not driving yet, I still have a little bit more freedom now.
2. I was 20 years old when my father died after his 5th heart attack, at age 58. I have been determined to live pass age 58. Now, I'm 60 years old and I'am a "Legacy Runner" with the L.A. Marathon. I meditate (dhamma.org) everyday for 2 hours. My wife is a Devout Christian and rarely ever reads anything other than the Bible. I took a chance and asked her to read your article. She read it and said it was very inspirational to her. Thank you Shari for a great article and I shall pass it on. Metta
3. yes ,it has. I came to this country as a cuban refugee at age 16.[, in 1962 ]. I literally kiss the ground every day and thank the Lord for the opportunity to live here and pursue my dreams. I will be eternally gratefull to all the wonderfull americans who welcomed me. Do not take freedom for granted. To be born in the United States is a priceless gift. Be thankfull. God BLESS AMERICA
4. I'm 62. I've watched my parents age. In early old age, they were happier. They were free of responsibility and financially comfortable. They had a great time. In their later age, however, when their bodies failed, they grew quite depressed. I suspect most people in assisted living facilities or worse should be on anti-depressants.
5. timely article rings true I'm retiring today at age 57
