First fruits for 2017 - Living Past 100 and Loving It!
Happy New Year! And MANY MANY more are likely to be yours according to reliable media. Every year more people live to be over one hundred years old and more-or-less lucid and enjoying quality days! In 2014, there were 72,197 Americans aged 100 or older, and this was up from fifty thousand plus, in 2000. Click and Read the resourced article from Smithsonian to pursue this thread.
Our lifestyles, healthcare, clean living and fitness - they work! Family counselling makes the length of days a fine journey!
This is the best New Year's gift I can give the world. When you begin your day, think 100+ and see how it makes you look at people differently, starting with the one in your morning mirror. Insights as we outsight, no?
More and more of us "upper midlife folk" are jogging, dancing, working and earning , marrying and remarrying and enjoying intimacy till true old age says otherwise.
Grandparents are caring for grandchildren so that their children can concentrate on school or work goals - or , in the case of single parents, they are happy babysitters, so they can date and find the new soulmate on nights and weekends.
For some reason, we opt for old age too soon and then feel foolish and regretful for quitting on neat things to do and neat money to be made.
So much to see - to help others - travel and learn and maybe invent a thing to address a concern you carried all your life - or maybe stop saying "There oughtta be a law" and go get one made. Making a law or improving regulations in your life is very rewarding - and it is easier than you think. Focus and get online and see the cyber seniors doing it as I type here.
YES - it's about LIFE. "O Raidant Dawn - welcome 2017" May we not let it down!
