Wonderful writing. As someone said.. or many people have said..'The only thing golden about our golden years is our urine!' I was told when I was anguishing obsessively about death and dying and life and meaningfulness throughout my sixties..it would pass when I was in my seventies (if I lived so long haha) and lo and behold.... it's passing.. days go by without my thinking OMG I'm going to DIE!!! Now I order myself to just live in the present and when those thought come into my head I either channel them into something to write (as you do) or do a little Scarlett O'Hara and say "I'll think about THAT tomorrow!"

Thank you, you are very kind. Oh, I do look forward to my 70s then! Yes, I am death obsessed in my 60s, but in a good, aware, "I know it's coming and I'm okay with it," kind of way. As a hospice chaplaincy and end of companion volunteer... I deal with death and the act of dying a lot. It's all good. It's the being sick part that pisses me off! 🤣🤣🤣

Love this post.

Something my father in law said when he was about 70 helped me through my sixties with all the wonderful worrisome new aches and pains. He said, “ At my age, if I wake up in the morning and nothing hurts, then I’ll know that I must have died during the night.”

Nice write mam. Did a lot of clock watching in my twenties at the office. Time is a relative experience. It's just change really! Yawn. Yawn. What a boring old sod I am now!! Will someone take my socks off for me! ATB
