I turned 80 years of age this past November. I am the oldest living male in my childhood family. My dad died at 77, my older brother at at 76 and my little brother at 72. I don't know why I am still here. I am in very good health except for my broken hip and have no fear of dying anytime soon.
So what do you do when you are 80 years old?
When you are young and maturing you find meaning in life in pursuit of worthwhile goals. These would include getting an education or vocational training, starting a career, finding a mate, getting promoted, buying a house, raising your kids.
When you are 80 years old, these goals are no longer needed. So I have to find meaning in my life in different ways. If I can think of any I'll let you know.
