Re: I think this is more appropriate for people over 65....
That is if one live to 65. For some it is too late. They did not even reach 60.

hey Katzs,great advice.
sometimes it's better to accept in order to deal with difficulties than to deny.  Know your limits, but always strive to exceed them!

I'm with Naut on this one, katzs. That's just too damned depressing. Rage
against the dying of the light, I say...  (well, Dylan Thomas said it first, but you know what I mean...)

Re: Katz
Good on you Nautikos. The more you reject, the further they stay away from you, leaving you healthy and strong. That is the right attitude.

I have gone over the entire list, including the previous posts on this subject, and you have a lot of good advice there. However I shall always REJECT  (rather than accept) "physical weakness, sickness and loss of hearing, sight and strength"!!! To hell with that...

Thanks Rumored, I agreed with you that 60 is another phrase. I hope to come to that later, when I reached there. At the moment I have passed 40 and realised a lot things that I should do along the way.

Thanks, katzs.

In my case I think life began at 50...  I learned the meaning of real love - love with substance, learned how to say "no", and achieved the financial freedom to do a bit of traveling. In my 40s I was still floundering a bit.
