I wish for you the most satisfying era of your life in the next two decades.

So, me thinks you should start focusing on all the possibilities your life still holds for you. Like me, 67 in September, and I'm just starting a new job, getting ready to put my house up for sale as soon as the market picks up, and planing my relocation back to the Blue Ridge. And I'm doing it all by myself, because I know I can. The sobering milestone for me, when I turned 60, was that I could do any Damn thing I wanted to do, without worrying about what anyone else thinks.

By measurements similar to yours, my year may be 2018. *glumly stalking away* *perking up* And, my husband's year may be 2034 which means he may have 16 years of realizing how lucky he was to have had me around. *chuckling* At any rate--hang in there and hang on for the ride. The downhill side is steep! ; ) You chose your parents well, Fred.

I turned 60 in November, yet the first time I looked at it as hanging around until 2040 (hopefully) rather than age 92 or 32 more years, was yesterday. 2040 does sound like the best way of putting it. Wanna see who can last the longest? Amazing.
