RE: Expectation and the Experience of Aging: A Compelling Connection

in StemSocial2 years ago

I believe that at any age, our life experience is shaped by our attitudes and expectations. A 71-year-old friend said to me last week that everyone except herself knew that she was 71. She's never ill, does African dancing twice a week, swims weekly, has been on four holidays already this year and is off to Valencia next week. She's always been a busy bee and expects to die dancing.
My father used to tell us that sickness was a state of mind. 'Sick or not sick, everyone works today' he would say. To this day my two siblings and I, in our late 50s and 60s, have perfect health, have neither a doctor nor health insurance and we expect to die in the best of health!

Sort:  

we expect to die in the best of health!

😁

That's the only way to go.
