I'm not getting older, I'm getting better
Some little Merry Sunshine puts out the line. But I have another way of looking at it. Human beings are to be congratulated for surviving. And I'm doing my best to make my 85th birthday next month. What would the elderly do without the internet!
I wish I could have read your whole article easier. Now that I had cataract surgery, I can see. But this page has smiley faces covering what I see.
About aging, my idea is that it's the best thing we've got going for us. Although it hurts the Social Security fund, I feel we have the right to be heard. And that means listening. As I tell my friends in the Boomer generation, who are so concerned about their approaching old age, "Get yournter friends, or you won't have any."
I live in a building with 118 apartments. To be here one must be on Social Security. What concerns me is how little some of the residents think about anything except doctor appointments and what they like to eat. Don't they realize that those older than 85 represent 20% of the US population? I hope to hear from you again.
