Aging doesn't mean life gets worse. In fact, as I alluded to, I've never been (overall) better than I am now

I'll say I'm absolutely happier than I have been, thanks to finding my soulmate after 33 years. That more than makes up for the cogs in the machine falling apart XD

But yeah you have a good attitude. 'Sitting is the new smoking' is a nice term I'm going to regurgitate to my students. I've thought about this a lot in the past and my conclusion is essentially; I'm willing to handle pretty much any physical obstacle and take it in my stride, with three exceptions in order of increasing dread: deafness, blindness, and Alzheimer's. If I can stave off these 3 demons, I'll appreciate life the best I can.

I wonder what different demons other people have...
