As a 70 year old, I can attest to the fact that there are definitely changes in life that have an impact, but not all of them are bad.
- You no longer feel the need to climb a ladder to clean the snow off your roof.
- You no longer have daily trips into rush hour traffic
- Friends talk more about new hips and knees than new cars
- You get to order wine or sake with a long lunch and not worry about going back to work with alcohol on your breath
- Volunteering suddenly makes more sense than holding down a job
- Wednesday is no longer referred to as “hump day”
- Raging hormones are remembered but rarely re-enacted
- Your dog gets long walks two or three times a day
- No more broiled chicken from Costco — home cooking makes a comeback
- Statin in the morning, Xarelto at night
- You revisit places you used to fly to for work and become a real tourist and really see them for the first time
- Viking River Cruises start to make sense
- After cataract surgery, you discover you don’t need eyeglasses any more
- You realize that spending your children’s inheritance feels really good.
- You have incredible incentives to avoid contact with people potentially carrying novel coronavirus.
