We in the U.S. today live longer and enjoy better health than in our past. We can cultivate interests made possible by higher levels of education overall too. Being a Senior is not synonymous with diminished quality of life, or a waiting. The lenght of the shadow is in it's own time, not our own. I'm not yet a Senior, but I find I'm tired.
Some times all of this seems not enough in daily reality; to dislodge a negative image of our older age at any marked time, or encourage a positive acceptance of a period of life in which many contemporaries might see nothing but an unavoidable decline, our recent society would like to make us think. Or perhaps this is all so much crap!
What do you want to do?
What can you do?
What should you do?
What can you hear?
Maybe consider, stepping outside your box, or dragging some of it along, and consider a place of alternate mission larger then ones self. And to look at those who serve others, in some large or smaller way, with what you have and can offer. And you may discover not only can you serve, but they might teach each of us a thing or two, together, before we start anew...
