[QUOTE="recoveringenabler, post: 608148, member: 13542"] SuZir, when I was 43 years old, I felt exactly as you do. There is a world of difference in our ages in terms of the perspective one takes when time is no longer "on your side." You can't see life through the eyes of Cedar, MWM or I because what you are seeing and how you are seeing it is vastly different. No one would presume to dictate to you or anyone else how to live your life and any comparisons made between where you are and where we are in our 60's is like comparing yourself to a 22 year old and wondering why there's a difference. You can't possibly know what it's like to be this age until you are this age and interpret, feel and perceive life through our eyes. I am not presuming that you or anyone else will end up in the same place, you will make your own choices as you grow older............you may have an entirely different aging process..............your interpretation of what we are saying is not what we are talking about because the way you define words like' peace, quiet and small joys' is perceived through the lens of your age and quite different then how I see that now. When I was your age, I saw that all differently as well. This may be a conversation that younger folks really can't understand, simply because you're not there yet. [/QUOTE]
