At 66 this year, I'm not what I would consider "old", but I'm not young, either. I've experienced enough life that I hope I've learned a few things. I don't do anything in a hurry, either. My supervisor at work always told me I needed to develop a sense of urgency. There are things now I either can't do any more, or can't do as well as I used to. Learning to slow down or ask for help have become bigger parts of my life. When I retired, I learned that life does not need to be lived at 90 mph. I can get just as much enjoyment from a slower pace as I thought I did at a faster pace. Getting older can definitely suck, but it does offer a few perks.
