To me, and to many people my age and condition, I did nothing special to reach the age and physical and mental condition I’m in.
I do as much exercise as my body allows me to.
Perhaps it’s what I didn’t do and don’t do.
-I don’t drink wine or liquor.
-Surprising to many is that I don’t drink much water. Most of the liquids I drink are part of my meals.
-I am not a big eater. I have a good appetite for breakfast, my favorite meal, but a little fills me up. Some people live to eat, I eat to live.
How long I will keep going is anybody’s guess.
As long as I am free of pain, as long as I can hear (albeit with hearing aids) as long as I maintain my sense of taste and my sense of humor, as long as I can see, I want to keep going.
My lifelong sense of curiosity to find out what is around the corner.
I want to keep going.
If I had a wish that could come true, I would want Betty beside me.
I know that is not possible.
I’ve had a good life, a wonderful wife, two kids I respect and admire.
I’m not complaining.
I can only wish everyone was, and is, as lucky as I am and have been.
Good luck to you
