I have been lucky with my aging, but the day will come when I will have to give in and admit I'm in that zone ...... the Country of Old Age. And it's darn scary. I do not like it one bit and think every day I MUST live large, so I don't end up regretting not seeing a certain country or national park before I exit the earth. It takes too much to think about sometimes and messes with my style of living, called LAZY!! I enjoy your articles so much. We are in the same boat, Janice!
