If I’m lucky I’m going to happily get older.
If I’m luckier I’m going to age and be able to take care of my physical needs by my self.
If I’m luckiest I’m going to have the mental capacity to make my own decisions and take care of my physical needs as I age.
If I’m blessed I’m going to age, be physically able, mentally capable, and be surrounded by family and friends who make up my world with support, socialization and interaction. And my world will be full of love. My life’s quality will not just be mine, but add to other’s as well.
If I’m not…..lucky, luckier, luckiest, or blessed-
I’m old.

You are lucky to have friends and family. Old and alone is a killer disease in itself.

As long as I live a life of quality I am happy to live, when that changes I would wish to bow out. I’m not sure how lucky I’ll be.
I hope your luck lasts a long time.

😉 For some it IS an excuse. I shudder when I hear people in their 40’s and 50’s refer to themselves as OLD. SHUDDER!

And I’m in no rush. I had one man tell me a few weeks ago he was 61 and a senior citizen! I was so sad, I will be NONE too happy if someone refers to me as a senior citizen when I am 61.
