Hi Donnette,
Enjoyed the read. Lots to consider.
My guess is that your still a 'young 'un' relatively speaking, just started into the fifties. Good for you!
So I'm 71 and keep going.
If you're mostly free of pain or still free of debilitating health issues then you are ahead of the eight ball. You're blessed.
Life has taught me, 'watch out what you wish for...' seriously, there's incredible power in those words. Be careful. If life gives you good living into years past 75, then go for it girl!
I agree with you about checking out, etc, etc, but quality of life will have to be really shitty then I myself will release the guillotine!
But as long as I'm doing okay, hey I'm in it for the long haul.
Be well.
