To be honest, I think I'll kill myself if I'm not able to take care of myself anymore.

I hope it never happens. People say that but if the time comes, they don't want to do it

He was a Marine in WWII. He had been married to my grandmother (also a Marine) since WWII. She passed away at 89. Grandpa passed away at 91, in his sleep, in his favorite recliner the night after a week-long family reunion.

They both lived at home until their deaths with no nurses.

My other surviving grandmother is 79 now, I think. She lives in her own house with her little yappy dogs and still drives. <3

My boss is 61 and he's in better shape than most 40 year olds I know.

Well, from my experience if you pick up good habits now they really serve you well later in life.

Creativity, activity, curiosity, they are like youth tonics.

Great point, Padre.

As age moves on people, they deliberately close their worlds off and focus on the comfortable, the familiar, the known.

New ideas and ways of looking at things become instantly attacked, untrusted and unexamined. Experience then becomes a sort of straight jacket that binds the present with the past.

Flexibility is eschewed, and life becomes a dull drag of the same thing each day, every day.

Used to hang out with the sort of "Prepper" crowd, know it well. It occured to me that their lives were the definition of fearful existence. Sitting among hoarded rice and beans waiting for some disaster to strike and thus validating their choices.

They were willing to learn hard skills like welding and butchering and gardening etc.

So flipped and hung out with the sort of youth/young professional/hipster crowd and got to know them well. Entitled, intellectually arrogant, vapid and shallow etc.

BUT, they were willing to learn new skills that interested them and we capable of amazing focus on them. From cooking to fashion to technology in those things they were quite flexible.

The two are not as far apart as they may think they are, such a division is a device.

Point being, to stay young one has to be willing to be flexible. For example what if for one day you examine everything you think you know as if it were all wrong? Or seriously examined what a detractor of those beliefs had to say?

This is one of the reasons why I'll examine what a Richard Dawkins has to say about Religion to test what I believe.

I want to take all the experience back with me that I can and I do not plan on coming back for another round.

Many folks, who know me really well, tell me they see me, very old sitting on my front porch with a long grey braid and a shot gun to ward off critters....

Yea.....

I could handle being wrinkled but not being trapped in a nonfunctional body.

We will raise our girls and build or house to accommodate our family.
I fully anticipate an extension for my mother as she ages. She will have only those responsibilities she desires (I'm sure she'll want a garden), her family near, and freedom to do as she wishes.
I hope she travels and takes some art classes, all passions in her youth.

Then, ideally, one or more of our children and perhaps her/their family will take over this house. We will move into the "elder extension".
With few responsibilities and hopefully some health, we will then learn and explore the community and the world.

I could totally dig that.

I just want to keep witnessing how this world is going to change.
