I’m just going to say one thing:

Imagine yourself at age 68.

I hope you have a wonderful weekend, Amanda!

I often do imagine life at 68 because my final pension kicks in at 67 😁 68 is going to be a high income year 😁

You completely misunderstand. I see no Trials and tribulations, I find it all hilarious 🤣

I was dead at 30. I am over the moon to be 54 and every single year I’ve had since 20/1/2000 has been an amazing bonus.

Actually, I try to live each day to the fullest; at 41, I was in intensive care and given the Last Rites and spent 3 months in the hospital.

That was 27 years ago. I am thankful for every day, even the less-than-spectacular ones! ❤️

Pardon me for inserting myself into this thread, but I just can't not. I know we talked about it a bit, but I was almost dead at 41, and it's so true, you don't take anything for granted anymore, and I'm so grateful for the life I've made.

You’re not inserting yourself anywhere 😁 You’re joining a conversation and your contribution is greatly received. 🙌🏾

Such experiences have a way of allowing you to quickly work out what is important in life. I choose to experience as much as I can 😁

Well, apparently 41 was a turning point for Cass and me!

It appears that each of us has learned an important lesson: life is to be experienced with gratitude and respect.
