Robert Roy Britt, the profound, at least for me, lesson I've learned is to lean into aging, embrace it, and learn from it. My take is that possessing an attitude of graceful aging not only makes one's inevitable aging easier to accept, it actually helps one to age, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually, more slowly & who can ask for more than that?
Stoics are saying : " memento mori", where accepting mortality is viewed as the ultimate catalyst for seizing the day and living with profound purpose. In other words, live in the present and be prepared .

Such a good piece Robert. Make every day count, I say.
Thank you for that first thought. And I agree wholeheartedly with your 2nd thought.
