One of the articles I wrote in a newsletter several years ago
was titled ‘Acting Your Age’ and it describes the somewhat unusual
situation many of us now into our 40s and 50s find ourselves in. We’re
nothing like our parents were at this age, we are healthier, look
younger, feel better and in many cases, are not winding down a career
we’ve had since we became adults. Rather, we’re either looking for work,
starting a business, or trying to figure out what we’re going to do
with ‘the rest of our life’, which could be a substantial number of
years.
I don’t know about you but I’m planning to live well into my 90s, so rather than look at retiring, I’m considering how I’m going to stay busy for the next 40 or so years.
And I hope that I look and feel great while that is happening because I’m ready to start living, to be happy and to have some fun, since the last 40 years have definitely not been very much fun, at least not those that I remember.
